Heiko Hüdepohl takes over shoe sales for s.Oliver in Europe.
From the spring/summer 2026 season, Hüdepohl will take over the management for this area, the Rottendorfer clothing provider said on Wednesday. With this calling, the S.Oliver Group wants to strengthen its commitment in the field of shoes and bags, which will also fall into Hüdepohl’s area of responsibility in the future.
Hüdepohl brings experience in the shoe industry for decades and is familiar with s.Olivers shoes. Among other things, he worked at the Wortmann Group as managing director of Shoe.com GmbH & Co. KG from mid -2019, which at that time held the shoe license of s.Oliver. In April last year, the S.Oliver Group and the shoe company based in Detmold ended their long -term license partnership.
“I have known Heiko Hüdepohl for over 20 years and very much appreciate his qualities and network,” said Michael Heißenberg, Director Product Shoes & Accessories at S.Oliver. “For us, he is the king’s transfer in the new set-up and an important piece of the puzzle to ensure a corresponding consistency and permanent contact persons.”
In the future, sales and collection development will work more closely together, according to Rottendorf. For this purpose, Hüdepohl is integrated into the design processes in order to coordinate them to the needs of trade and the end scand: inside.
