Spyder Active Sports, Inc. promoted Russ Rowan to SVP of marketing and sales for North America.
Rowan
joined Spyder in August of 2009 and reports directly to Tom McGann,
Spyder’s CEO. His background includes positions at other worldwide
performance apparel and action sport brands including Helly Hansen,
Burton, and O’Neill. Before re-joining at Spyder, McGann and Rowan had
previously worked together at Burton.
Commented Rowan: “The
Spyder brand has made some huge leaps in the past few years with a solid
team supporting the growth we have experienced in difficult market
conditions. Honestly, it’s been amazing to witness first hand what we’ve
accomplished in the way of better product mix, clear marketing
direction, establishing solid marketing partners such as 3M Thinsulate
Insulation, Audi, and Carlsberg (just to name a few), and most of all,
working with the most passionate and dedicated sales force in the
industry. We still have plenty of ground to cover, but all the gears are
turning and this machine never stops. Progress. Push.“
“Russ has
brought incredible creative energy and drive to Spyder. His efforts
have reenergized the brand’s DNA. In three short years Russ has brought a
fresh Spyder identity to market globally, cemented partnerships with
several other premium image brands and organizations, and completely
restructured the sales and marketing teams. His rapid pace of change has
driven Spyder to three consecutive years of growth in an extremely
challenging global economy,” added McGann.
The appointment was effective January 1, 2013. Rowan is based at Spyder’s Boulder, Colorado headquarters.
