Spy promoted Dana Leshyk to director of product development. Leshyk first joined Spy in 2015 in the role of product development coordinator and quickly rose to become a significant member of the development team.

Throughout her tenure with Spy, Leshyk has worked to improve both the company’s R&D process and manufacturing capabilities in lockstep with the evolving needs of the brand’s consumer base and retail partners. Her 15 years of product development experience, stemming from work with mainstream and lifestyle brands in apparel, footwear and eyewear, has helped to make her a valuable part of Spy’s product team.

“Dana is a prime example of the positive changes that continue to take place at Spy and how our team is thriving. From conception to production, Dana has demonstrated her command of the intricacies of eyewear. In addition to her work strengthening Spy’s optical and sunglass portfolios, she has also refined the collaborative channels between all departments in relation to product design, making Spy a better brand and stronger company as a whole,” commented Seth Hamot, CEO at Spy.

A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles, Dana will now report directly to Hamot.
