“Not only will [Overall] drive our business in Northern Europe, but she will be a key partner in driving our global strategies, innovation and account business into the future,” said Matt Brown, executive vp worldwide commercial, to whom Overall will report. “Kim’s impressive leadership both in launching the joint venture with Universal as well as growing the business into a market-leading position in Australia and New Zealand has made her extremely valuable to the company.”
