David Pujolar has stepped down as CEO of the UK-based footwear retailer after two years in the role. The company has initiated a search process to appoint his successor.
Pujolar joined Footasylum in 2024 from European sportswear retailer AW Lab, where he served as general manager. He also held several senior roles at adidas, Foot Locker and Tommy Hilfiger.
In the meantime, the parent company of Footasylum, Aurelius Group, has appointed Stephan Rahmede as interim CEO. A senior representative at Aurelius WaterRise (the company’s internal operational advisory arm), he will take on the role while the search for a successor capable of steering the brand through its next phase of growth is underway.
“We are lucky to have an extremely talented and dedicated team, driven by the vision to lead the industry. But there is more to come, and I am determined to support the next phase of growth and to strengthen the management team further, including a new CEO”, commented Stephan Rahmede.
In the 2025 fiscal year, Footasylum posted a revenue of 349.5 million British pounds (420 million euros), marking a 9.4% year-on-year increase. The company has also secured major brand partnerships with Nike, Adidas, and New Balance, and recently expanded into the Middle Eastern market through a strategic alliance with Apparel Group.
