Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., the designer and manufacturer of firearms, has promoted Chad Patrick to vice president of Sales for Smith & Wesson.
Patrick has spent his entire 22-year career working in the outdoor industry and has been a key Smith & Wesson sales team member for nearly 19 years. He joined the company as a district sales manager in July of 2007, where he called on retail accounts throughout the southern region of the US. In 2012, the company promoted Patrick to national accounts manager, responsible for driving growth and managing relationships and partnerships within some of the largest accounts until, once again, the company promoted him in 2016 to his current role of national sales director, responsible for managing all district sales managers nationwide.
“Throughout his career, Chad has worked closely with every customer segment and has earned an outstanding reputation for his dedication to Smith & Wesson, his deep knowledge of the firearms industry and his passion for shooting sports and the outdoors. More importantly, he has developed not only strong partnerships with our customers — but, in many cases, lasting friendships, and I am excited to welcome him to the executive team,” said Mark Smith, president and CEO, Smith & Wesson.
