Cloudveil named Co-Founder Stephen Sullivan President of the company following the resignation of Co-Founder and President Brian Cousins. Cousins leaves Cloudveil after helping to complete its integration with parent company Spyder Active Sports to pursue personal interests.


“Brian’s decision to make this life change is bittersweet for me,” said Sullivan. “He has been a wonderful business partner and his impact on shaping and growing Cloudveil for the past eleven years has been instrumental to our success. That said, as a close friend I am excited for him move on and seek new challenges at this point in his life. He leaves Cloudveil in a position of strength, after a successful integration with Spyder, with sustained and active growth which I will work hard to perpetuate.”


Sullivan has overseen Cloudveil’s product, marketing, sales and retail divisions through the course of the company’s history and is an active member of the outdoor and angling industries serving on the board of the American Fly-Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) and the advisory board of 1% for the Tetons.
