Multiple new appointments at Beyond Clothing
US-based technical clothing designer and manufacturer Beyond Clothing has hired a number of industry veterans to manage its technical garment development, marketing and sales.
The new recruits include Peter Reichel, formerly of Nike, who is leading design as
creative director; Jill Green, formerly of Black Diamond, who is taking over as outside production manager; Justin Mason, formerly of Smith Optics, who is heading up the media group; Carlos Merino, formerly of Edge Eyewear, who is leading the mission project team; and Mandy Bollmeier, formerly of LBT, who will manage special mission development projects.
The outdoor clothing company came under new leadership last year and employment levels have doubled since that time. The new appointments have been made in advance of a new product line launch, the opening of an expanded production facility and the acquisition of new technical equipment this October.
"We have put considerable effort and resources into creating a unique team and environment that will facilitate Beyond's continued growth in the outdoor market," says Rick Elder, president of Beyond Clothing.
"We are ramping up for an exciting time of rapid development and production expansion. I am very proud of our team."
