Terence Senford

Born and raised in the British capital, Senford holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the London College of Fashion. He has over 14 years of experience in the sports, textile and fashion industry. Starting his career as the Lead Designer for fashion icon Ozwald Boateng, he contributed his creativity to brands such as Ripcurl, Adidas and Nike. During his time at Puma, he revived the Active Lifestyle segment and brought it to commercial success. "One of the highlights of my career was for sure to equip Usain Bolt and his Jamaican Olympic team for the games in Beijing," Senford says. "What I love most about my job is the combination of people management and creativity. I strive to promote and bring out the best of my team members on the one hand, and to build my aesthetic vision into clothing on the other." At KJUS, Senford is responsible for the design of all collections, ski, golf and active-wear.

Tom Schumacher brings along extensive experience in the sporting goods industry with brands like Billabong, Quiksilver or Palmer in his portfolio. At Scott's Sport he was responsible for the global development of protection, gloves and bags. Recently, he was CEO and Creative Director at Atewa. "I'm really looking forward to expanding the accessories line and improving the existing products," says the Swiss citizen. He has already contributed innovation to the KJUS range: the GSM/ Bluetooth glove (with integrated headset) was created by Tom as a freelancer back then.

Bettina Grabher

During her career, she was responsible for the global brand and marketing strategies at big corporations such as Adecco and Dow, at small premium businesses such as Zima, as well as advertising and digital marketing agencies. She led co-branded consumer campaigns around new stretch fabrics to success, in cooperation with brands such as Nike or Calvin Klein.
