“Garrett has played a pivotal role in Nike Team Headwear’s continued growth and success, overseeing key partnerships, product innovation and strategic initiatives at Imperial. His leadership has been instrumental in expanding the company’s market presence and reinforcing its commitment to quality, customization and customer service,” the company said in a media release.
Before his two-plus year stint in the Nike Headwear business, Garrett was with gearUp Sports for over a year and spent nine months at 3N2. He served for over seven years in various positions with BSN Sports, culminating in his role as a regional sales manager in 2014.
