Turtleson has named Jim Call VP of Licensed Product Sales, responsible for leading the growth of the brand’s wholesale partnerships and its collegiate-licensed apparel line.
Call brings 25 years of experience in collegiate and pro sports licensed products. He will highlight Turtleson’s product line to partner with key retailers in the performance, golf and lifestyle categories.
“Turtleson is carving a new niche in the apparel world by challenging the industry status quo; we want people to think of Turtleson as ‘cool wearable gear’ for men and women that keep pace with their active lives,” said Greg Oakley, co-founder, and CEO of Turtleson. “Jim’s an important piece of our growth plan in 2025; his impressive career positions him well to help drive Turtleson’s sales and to continue to raise awareness with our retail partners about the benefits of Turtleson’s robust lineup of performance wear and licensed apparel.”
Throughout his career Call, who most recently has ran a sales agency, has driven wholesale sales for Starter Sportswear, Russell Athletic, J America Apparel, Cutter & Buck, New Era Cap, and Tommy Bahama, among others.
Call has also served on multiple advisory boards, which have given him a depth of knowledge about the performance wear category. He is a graduate of East Tennessee State University.
For over a decade, Turtleson has manufactured men’s and women’s performance apparel, including polos, wovens, layering pieces, sweaters, bottoms and outerwear. The Turtleson brand can be found at golf clubs, resorts and retailers worldwide.
