Hari Mari said Wednesday that Billy Reid co-founder and former CEO Jake Szczepanski will become president of the fast-growing Dallas-based flip flop startup, which is planning to expand into apparel this spring.
Szczepanski has been on the Hari Mari board for three years and is moving onto the management team “to help spearhead the brand’s continued growth,” the company said.
