Deckers Brands has appointed Maha S. Ibrahim to its board of directors, effective Feb. 1. Mike Devine, chairman of the board, said he especially values her experience identifying trends and driving growth in the direct-to-consumer and technology sectors. He also said Ibrahim’s insights and capabilities align with management’s focus on distinguishing Decker’s brands, including UGG, Hoka One One, Koolaburra, Sanuk, and Teva, “amidst the challenges of a changing global marketplace, with an enhanced focus on digital engagement.” Ibrahim is currently a general partner of Canaan Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm, where she has worked since March 2000. Before Canaan, she served as vice president of e-business at Qwest Communications from 1998 to 2000, where she architected its e-business strategy. From 2012 through 2020, Ibrahim served as a member of the board of directors of RealReal, Inc., an online brick-and-mortar marketplace for authenticated luxury consignment, providing leadership to the company through its 2019 initial public offering. She currently serves on the boards of directors of several private innovative enterprises and consumer companies and has served as a trustee for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a foreign policy think tank, since 2017. “I look forward to working with the board and management team as they continue to leverage their digital transformation to drive consumer connections to support their long-term growth,” said Ibrahim.
