Birkenstock has officially announced the appointment of Megan Kulick as the new Director of Investor Relations, set to take her post on April 15, 2024. With her office based in New York, Kulick will directly report to the company’s board of directors, marking a significant step in her extensive career in financial services.

Oliver Reichert, CEO of Birkenstock Group and a board member, expressed enthusiasm about Kulick’s appointment. He highlighted the strategic importance of bringing someone on board who not only possesses a remarkable reputation in the market but also carries a profound understanding of investor communication. “It was extremely important for us to fill the position with an investor relations professional who not only has a high reputation in the market and an excellent professional background but also speaks the language of the street and whom we trust to convey our unique equity story in the most credible and effective way,” said Reichert.

Megan Kulick brings to Birkenstock over two decades of international financial expertise, which includes roles in investor relations, equity research, and portfolio management across several prestigious U.S. banks and large listed corporations.

She was the Head of Investor Relations at AYR Wellness Inc., served as Senior Vice President at PIMCO, and held directorial roles at Merrill Lynch and vice-presidential positions at JPMorgan Chase. Kulick’s journey in finance began at Merrill Lynch in equity research, where she specialized in telecommunications services.

Kulick’s educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Finance from the University of Michigan, complemented by an MBA from Columbia Business School. Her academic and professional experiences have equipped her with a nuanced understanding of the financial markets, making her a fitting choice for managing Birkenstock’s investor relations.

As Birkenstock continues to expand its global footprint, Kulick’s role will be pivotal in communicating the company’s financial narratives to investors and stakeholders effectively. Her leadership is expected to bridge the gap between Birkenstock’s strategic objectives and investor expectations, thereby fostering a stronger market presence and enhancing shareholder engagement.

This strategic hire points to Birkenstock’s commitment to strengthening its leadership team and enhancing its communications with the investment community, crucial for the company’s ongoing growth and international expansion. Kulick’s proven track record and strategic insight are seen as key assets that will help propel Birkenstock forward in the competitive landscape of global footwear.
