Taos Footwear is shaking up its leadership team with some new promotions.
The comfort footwear brand on Thursday announced that Glen Barad, the president and founder of the brand, will assume the role of chief executive officer. Bill Langrell, who currently serves as the brand’s chief operating officer and has been with the brand since 2005, has been promoted to president and COO.
Other promotions include Sylvia Jensen, formerly national sales manager, to the role of vice president of domestic sales, and Mike Walker, director of marketing and e-commerce, to the role of vice president of marketing and e-commerce.
“All three of these team mates have a work ethic second to none,” Barad said in a statement to Footwear News. “They care about the company and our customers like nothing I have seen before. They are smart, willing to wear as many hats needed, and have a passion for the business that is incredible to watch. They are great managers and have surrounded themselves with people with the same traits. I am very proud they are on the team and have earned these new titles.”

Taos will celebrate its 20th year of business in 2025. The comfort brand launched in 2005 as a sandal collection and has since evolved into a contemporary line offering tailored oxfords, Mary Janes, booties ballet flats and sneakers.
