Outgoing president and chief executive officer Dave Powers passed the baton to his successor in a statement on Thursday. “As this is my last quarter to report as CEO, I am pleased to share these strong results to kick-off fiscal year 2025,” Powers said. “Hoka and Ugg continue to drive robust full-price demand in the global marketplace by delivering compelling product that consumers love. Deckers has an exciting future ahead as Stefano transitions into his new role as CEO next week.”

At the same time, incoming president and CEO Stefano Caroti added his enthusiasm for taking over the reins at the company, stating that fiscal year 2025 is “off to a great start.”

“I’m excited by the opportunity to now lead Deckers and its iconic brands, with the support of our talented teams that remain focused on the long-term opportunities ahead for this great company,” Caroti said.
