Prior to joining Renfro, Kadian consulted with leading brands and retailers on their e-commerce and digital marketing strategies including niche edits. Kadian has also held several roles at legwear company, Kayser-Roth Corporation, where she championed their digital vision and strategy throughout the organization working directly with brands including No Nonsense, HUE and Simply Vera.

“As a leading heritage brand with deep roots within the legwear industry, Renfro has pioneered some of the most important innovations in socks, from standardizing sock sizes to eliminating sock seams, Renfro has unmatched expertise and knowledge,” said Kadian Langlais, SVP and CMO of Renfro Brands. “I’m eager to build a deeper relationship with our consumers and apply these insights to drive exponential growth for Renfro and our portfolio of brands.”
