About

Perhaps the most prominent corporate development in sportswear giant Puma’s recent history came in 2018 when French parent company Kering announced it would be spinning off the majority of its stake in Puma (70%) to shareholders. This extremely complex project, supported ably by the company’s legal department, was completed in May and will allow the company new business options going forward. Martin Benda took over the company’s general counsel and global legal director role in April 2018, assuming responsibility for what is already a highly motivated, capable and well-respected legal team presiding over one of the worlds most recognisable brands.
