GoLite has promoted three key team members: Andy Burgess, formerly VP of Product, is now SVP of Product, Sales and Marketing, creating a strong cohesive synergy between the different business units. Mark Flanagan, formerly European General Manager, is now GoLites International General Manager, allowing him to effectively leverage his proven market development abilities across all international markets. And Kevin Joyce, formerly Apparel Director, is now Product Director responsible for both apparel and equipment so that he can exercise his astute skills in all areas of product development.
Commenting on the promotions, GoLites President Demetri Coupounas offered the following, “Andy, Flan and Kevin have all put in top flight performances over the past few years. Each of these promotions is well deserved and enables GoLite to effectively continue its aggressive growth plan.”
