Spacecraft, the headwear and lifestyle apparel brand, hired outdoor-industry veteran Chad Perrin as director of sales. Perrin, having started as the Option-NFA Team Manager in the late
1990s, quickly earned his place as a permanent fixture in the
snowboarding industry. His role and contribution to the brand eventually
led to a position as Global Marketing Manager. Later on, he found
himself in a key sales position with Flow Snowboards, YES Snowboards,
Jones Snowboards and most recently at Karakoram.
Chad has been a long-time fan of Spacecraft and has firmly planted his roots in snowboarding-this was a no brainer for us. We are laser focused on re-engaging our core customer and building key sales platforms & relationships to ensure that we can deliver on that promise, said Molly Hawkins, Vice President of Spacecraft.
To say that I am stoked to be part of Spacecraft is an understatement, said Perrin. Its a brand that has always resonated with me. I have been a fan of the brand since day 1, when I saw my first snowcat sticker on a road sign in Glacier, WA off the Mt. Baker highway. The brand and its roots go way back, and it has become an iconic and respected company over the years. The team here is top notch and the road that lay ahead is incredible. I am excited to be part of the team that will pave this road moving forward. So many good things to come I invite all to come along for one amazing ride with Spacecraft!
The 2014-2015 season represents a new horizon for the brand. The new line of product is complimented by a new sales force, both of which position Spacecraft to shake things up as it aims to target growth with key specialty doors and new markets.
