O’Neill Snow expands sales team
US sports- and outdoor-wear brand O’Neill Snow has appointed a new national sales manager, Jack Schindler, and a new sales and marketing coordinator, Jimmy Adams. Mr Schindler, based in his native San Diego, California, will oversee sales growth in the US market, while Mr Adams will be based in Montreal, Canada and support global sales and marketing efforts.
Mr Schindler will oversee all US sales teams for O’Neill Snow apparel and accessories, including the brand’s newest collection of snow pants, jackets, fleece and beanies. He will also help manage key accounts in markets such as California, Colorado and Utah.
Mr Schindler was most recently the Western Region sales manager for C1rca and Axion footwear, based in California. Prior to this position, Mr Schindler helped launch the snow goggle program for Hoven Vision and worked with the Earth Products Company, managing markets for Planet Earth and Holden Snow outerwear, as well as Adio footwear.
“This is a position that’s perfectly suited for my passion in outdoor sports and I’m eager to take O’Neill’s snow brand to the next level,” said Mr Schindler. “I’m really looking forward to expanding awareness around the O’Neill Snow collections in the US market, and generating greater exposure and opportunities for us.”
In the new sales and marketing position, Jimmy Adams will serve as key support for Mr Schindler’s team, as well as overseeing O’Neill Snow marketing programs across the US and Canada. Originally from Sydney, Mr Adams moved to Montreal following graduation from college and has since worked with action sports retail companies including Empire Sports, along with fashion brands including Zoo York and Ecko Unltd.
“With these recent hires, we have landed two experts in the action sports and fashion worlds who will help us spread the word about our full line of snow products across both the US and Canada,” said Leonard Marcovitch, president of O’Neill Snow. “It’s an exciting time for the brand as we really look to make our mark on these regions with retailers and consumers.”
Mr Schindler will be based at his home in San Diego, California, while Mr Adams will work at O’Neill Canada’s offices in Montreal.
