Hydrapak appointed Jim Vernon as its new Sales Coordinator and David Kim the new Service Coordinator. Together they will help assist with the increased sales and communication activity created by the rapid growth of the Hydrapak brand in hydration packs and the Gel-Bot bottle lines.
“This is very exciting for us,” says Hydrapak Sales Director Matt Patterson, “we are experiencing a record year in 2008 both domestically and internationally, the launch of the Reversible Reservoir II, the re-design of our Hydration pack line and the success of the Gel-Bot has essentially doubled our business and the addition of such high caliber people as Jim and David will help fuel our momentum.”
Vernon will focus on driving sales programs surrounding new products and help with brand positioning. He is an accomplished endurance runner and his past position as Athlete Manager with The North Face brings a highly qualified manager to the team.
Kim takes over as the Service Coordinator at Hydrapak. Kim will be the primary contact for the increasing number of dealers and distributors and will act as the Hydrapak Office Traffic Manager as well.
