“I’m thrilled to join the Norrøna team and incredibly impressed with the brand and its products, people and history,” said Malboeuf. “I look forward to building upon the positive momentum the brand has in the U.S. and aim to grow it. The opportunities Norrøna provides for adventure seekers everywhere is exciting, and joining the team is an honor.”

A lover of the outdoors, Andi is also a former U.S. national ski racer, active trail runner, mountain biker, ski teacher and tester for Blizzard.
