Skram announces the appointment of Robert Wolf, Vice President Growth Marketing
Skram is pleased to announce that marketing veteran Robert Wolf has joined the company as Vice President Growth Marketing, a new role. Wolf comes from Swiss-based design brand Vitra, where he led the marketing for North America.
