Skins Compression, the maker of gradient compression sportswear, hired Robin Barsantee as the brand’s new national sales director. This latest hire further solidifies Skins’ commitment to cultivating the brand in the U.S. and highlights the rapid growth the brand saw in 2013.
Barsantee will support both inside and outside sales tactics to increase the company’s momentum as expansion continues in new and existing key markets and sport disciplines throughout North America. In his new role, Barsantee will be responsible for leading the national sales force, implementing effective sales strategies to build and grow current and potential revenue channels. With more than 13 years of industry experience in event management, marketing and sales, Barsantee will specifically help drive the sport specialty sales within the U.S. Prior to joining Skins, Barsantee held positions at some of the industry’s leading brands, including Titleist, Polar, Zoot and most recently, Timex.
“I am thrilled to be part of the team at Skins, the innovators behind the compression category,” said Robin Barsantee, national sales manager for Skins North America. “I am not biased when I say that Skins delivers the top performing sportswear on the market with the world’s best professional athletes wearing it as proof. I look forward to spreading the word and further positioning Skins as the go-to brand in the compression industry.”
Barsantee brings a unique perspective to Skins, as well as his deep personal passion and avid dedication to the sporting community stemming from his history as a professional golfer for more than six years. As of late, Barsantee has become a competitive triathlete and has completed nine full Ironman races.
