Cascade Designs, Inc. hired Minor Harris as VP of Human Resources, who will work from the company’s Reno, NV office.

The parent company of the MSR, Therm-a-Rest, Platypus, SealLine, PackTowl, and Varilite brands said Harris brings more than twenty years of experience to the role and, most recently, was the head of people and culture at the Washington-based aerospace manufacturer, Korry Electronics.

Harris will oversee all facets of HR to “ensure that the right people are in place” to develop, design and manufacture the company’s recreational product lines. In addition, Harris is responsible for the “right level of training and development as well as the appropriate level of compensation, benefits and support,” for Cascade Design’s employees.

“We are excited to welcome Minor to the Cascade Designs team,” said Paul Connolly, president of Cascade Designs. “Minor’s long history in developing a winning culture in a number of manufacturing companies will be a great asset as we look ahead to the future of the brands.”

“I’m incredibly excited for the opportunity to work for Cascade Designs,” said Harris. “My passion for developing a positive company culture while making market-leading outdoor recreation brands is an incredible opportunity. I am looking forward to helping Cascade Designs attract, retain and reward the diverse and talented workforce we need to live out our mission and achieve our goals.”
