[edit] Quiksilver, 1994-2008
During his tenure as President, Bernard was credited for the company’s growth and success.[4] The company’s operations in Europe rose from $40 million to $700 million over a period of 10 years. Under his leadership, the company would purchase DC Shoes, Cleveland Golf, and Skis Rossignol. Between the years 2001 and 2008 sales went from $600 million to $2.4 billion ($2 billion excluding Rossignol). The first two operations were very successful. The latter however proved disappointing and Bernard Mariette would resign from Quiksilver after 15 years of service in 2008.[5]
