Huntington Beach-based Quiksilver Inc. hired its first-ever chief marketing officer last week, capping off a string of executive hires and promotions under new Chief Executive Andy Mooney.
Nicholas Drake will head Quiksilver’s marketing and comes to the action sports clothing and retail company from TBWA/ Chiat/Day Los Angeles, where he was managing director of the advertising agency.
Quiksilver also hired new heads of retail and wholesale for its North America business.
It appointed apparel, footwear and supply-chain heads earlier this year.
