Stuart Haselden

Stuart Haselden serves as Chief Executive Officer at Arc’teryx. Since taking the helm at Arc’teryx in 2021, Stuart has led the company on a transformative growth path, invested in leadership across all levels of the enterprise, and driven a systematic and authentic path to quality growth across the globe, earning brand fans and loyalists from mountain towns to major cities.

Prior to joining Arc’teryx, Stuart served as CEO at Away Travel, and held executive roles at lululemon, J.Crew and Saks Fifth Avenue department stores. He brings over 25 years of global experience in retail and vertical premium brands, with knowledge gained from working in countries spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Stuart began his own personal leadership journey as a young cavalry officer in the United States Army, which proved to be a life-shaping experience for him. During this time, he formed deeply ingrained beliefs in the human experience of leadership.

It was also the beginning of a lifelong love of mountain and alpine sports. He’s passed on this passion for the mountains to his three children and at the weekend you’re most likely to find him enjoying nature with his family—be it skiing, biking, hiking or swimming.
