Graham and Calichman will work together through the end of 2022. Calichman brings to the role more than 25 years of footwear industry experience, chiefly at Saucony where he started as a sales representative and eventually became Vice President of Sales, National Accounts. After a few years as Vice President of Sales with Stride Rite, Calichman joined Skechers in 2017 where he was Vice President
of Women's: Outdoor, Sport, Sport-Active before his promotion to SVP of Domestic Sales. Graham will remain with Skechers through the end of 2022 to ensure a smooth transition for the entire domestic sales team, as well as success for Calichman in his new role.
