Bradshaw Taylor hired Emily McKissock as director of U.S. sales for Artilect and Sherpa Adventure Gear.

McKissock brings over 12 years of experience building and scaling retail and apparel businesses. Her experience includes executive sales roles at Marmot, ExOfficio, Purist, and Specialized Bicycle Components.

“We are extremely excited to have Emily join the Bradshaw Taylor team and to be supporting Artilect and Sherpa Adventure Gear,” said Sonia Prior, sales director at Bradshaw Taylor. “I have no doubt that her experience and relationships will allow us to build our brands with our retail partners and further introduce and begin to establish the Bradshaw Taylor business in the market.”

Sherpa Adventure Gear was founded in 2003 by Tashi Sherpa. After years of partnering with the brand for European distribution, Bradshaw Taylor acquired Sherpa in 2020. Artilect was founded by Trent Bush and Corry Taylor in 2019 and manufactures technical apparel systems.
