Panos Mytaros has been named the next global chief executive officer of Bata Group. Mytaros takes over for Sandeep Kataria, who has been in charge of the business since 2020.

Mytaros has thirty years of international leadership expertise in the leather and footwear industries. Mytaros was the group CEO of the lifestyle footwear company ECCO before joining Bata.

Kataria’s departure comes as the company navigates a period of slowing growth. He is likely to remain in his role for up to six months to support a smooth leadership transition.

Previously, Kataria was Bata India’s CEO. He oversaw well-known consumer brands with significant global reach and devoted followings at Unilever, Yum Brands, and Vodafone in India and Europe for 24 years before joining the firm in 2017.
