Bombas co-founder David Heath steps down as CEO.

The socks and T-shirt company is looking to expand beyond direct-to-consumer.

Jason LaRose , a former Under Armour executive, will take over as the company's next CEO effective Thursday .

LaRose spent six years at Under Armour and oversaw its North America business.

"As a DTC brand, we care so much about our brand and our story, it has to be somebody who's going to do an excellent job taking care of our brand. We're not out there to be out there," said LaRose . "We're looking at some other partners. We'll continue to always look for people who we think strategically give us access to the right customer, you know, nothing to announce yet on that front, but we'll keep looking.".
