OrthoLite hired Larry O’Brien as key account sales manager. After a 27-year tenure at Nike, O’Brien will help OrthoLite further strengthen and expand upon the company’s longtime partnership with Nike across all categories.

O’Brien will be working out of the OrthoLite Portland sales office.

“We are thrilled to have Larry join our sales team,” said C.B. Tuite, SVP of sales and marketing, OrthoLite. “His relationships at Nike, both in the U.S. and Asia, combined with an extensive product development background will add tremendous value to our leadership positioning in the athletic category and also reinforce our collaborative role with each of our valued brand partners.”

O’Brien started his career as a Nike store manager, then as an EKIN technical representative before moving into Product Development where he became familiar with OrthoLite. He was the former senior product training specialist where he trained other product developers when they were hired by Nike, and in recent years was a product developer in their Young Athletes business unit.

American owned and operated, OrthoLite has sales offices in the United States, Vietnam, Asia and Europe as well as manufacturing facilities in China, Vietnam and Indonesia.
