Linkens succeeds Marlene Vonken, who resigned in July by “mutual agreement”, reported Dow Jones International News.


“We had a CEO who was focused on financial matters,” Vincent Doumier, interim CEO and president of the board of directors, was quoted by Dow Jones as saying. “We need a new CEO with skills in sales and marketing.”  


Linkens has been employed as general manager of Sara Lee Knit Products Europe, and most recently, as head of retail chain Disport.
