and transformational change in retail through the rise of
e-commerce and mobile shopping,” said Scott Roe, Vice President and

numerous large-scale projects that enabled VF and our brands to
navigate rapid technological changes, while also ensuring that our
associates have the tools and resources to work anywhere in the
world.”
Roe continued, “Martin is a strong leader and a truly wonderful
person. In addition to his service at VF, he has been equally
dedicated to giving back to his local community through involvement
with non-profit organizations and serving on several boards, in
addition to teaching children ice hockey and how to skate. He will
be missed at VF.”
Sandra Harris, Vice President, Global Business Technology, will
succeed Schneider as Vice President & CIO, effective Jan. 1,

her career in public accounting with Deloitte & Touche. She
earned her undergraduate degree in accounting from Clemson
