Bersa USA, a subsidiary of the Argentine firearms manufacturer, named Tim Dillon as its new chief executive officer. Dillon has over 40 years of industry experience spanning firearms manufacturing, product development, logistics, and international compliance regulations.

Previously, Dillon held senior leadership roles, including serving as vice president of Product Development at Christensen Arms, president of Dasan USA, and president and CEO at both Noveske Rifleworks and STI International. Earlier in his career, he spent nearly two decades with Brownells, Inc., where he served as director of operations.

In addition to his private-sector leadership, Dillon has extensive experience supporting U.S. government programs. He has served as a mentor and instructor for the U.S. Department of State’s Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) Program and, most recently, worked as a security contractor for an NGO in the Middle East. Dillon is also a U.S. Army Veteran.

As CEO, Dillon will oversee Bersa USA’s strategic direction, product development initiatives and operational execution.

“I’m honored to join Bersa USA and lead a brand with such a strong legacy in the firearms industry,” Dillon said. “I look forward to working with the team to build on that foundation, continue delivering quality products and strengthen Bersa’s position in the U.S. market.”
