Sea to Summit, an outdoor gear manufacturer, added to its sales team, welcoming Darrin Young as its new national sales manager.
Sea to Summit’s Sales Director Josh Simpson said, “We put a lot of time and energy into searching out the right person for this role. Darrin brings a tremendous amount of experience and industry knowledge to our team. He’ll play a vital role in ensuring we continue to deliver on the commitments we have to our retail partners by providing the best service and support in the industry. With his deep passion and enthusiasm for the outdoors and this industry, he’s a perfect fit for Sea to Summit. We’re really excited to have him on board.”
Young will work closely with Simpson as he leads the sales team and provides support to the company’s independent reps, in addition to working directly with many of the brand’s national retail partners. Sea to Summit services more than 80 percent of its North American dealer base through its in-house sales and customer service team, which has been expanding over the past few years.
Young brings 20 years of industry experience to Sea to Summit, most recently at SmartWool where he spent a little over 10 years working with independent and national retailers.
“I couldn’t be more proud to join the Sea to Summit team. Their continued commitment to delivering a premium world class product to its customers is second to none. As an avid end user of outdoor gear, I truly appreciate companies like Sea to Summit in that their gear allows you to fully focus on the adventure itself,” said Young, who will be based at the company’s head office in Boulder, CO.
