Herzogenaurach, Germany — Sports company PUMA has appointed Indrajeet Sen as senior vice president, PUMA group sourcing, taking over the operational responsibilities of the chief sourcing officer role.

He will be based in Xiamen, China. Sen has been with PUMA since 2016, most recently working as vice president of sourcing and development footwear.
