Summit Golf Brands is pleased to announce new sales leadership roles in the New York Metropolitan Section (“Met Section”). These changes follow a year of significant on-course market share growth in the U.S., and are reflective of the Company’s primary goal of providing superior product, unique decoration methods, and unparalleled customer service to the green grass channel.
Brendan McHugh has been named Regional Sales Manager overseeing all of the brands and individual sales representatives in the Met Section. McHugh, who remains a Class “A” PGA of America Member, will report to Jack Lessing, EVP of Global Sales in this new role. It is a homecoming for McHugh who is originally from Connecticut and has been an Account Executive with the company in South Florida and Georgia the last six years and significantly grown sales in these two areas over that time. He will work closely with his replacement in Florida, Kyle Sanders, to continue the tremendous success of the brands in that region.
Lessing added of McHugh’s new role, “In his six years at the Company, Brendan has exemplified what we look for in a sales person and has become a leader within the sales organization. We are excited for Brendan to represent us in the Met Section, one of the finest territories in golf, and take the next step in his career.”
Kyle Sanders will be replacing Brendan McHugh in Florida and will be covering Fairway & Greene and Zero Restriction on the East Coast of Florida, Florida Panhandle and Northern Florida. Kyle joins SGB after several years as the Head Professional at The Fox Club in Palm City, Florida. As Head Professional at The Fox Club, Kyle oversaw all golf operations including the golf shop purchasing. Prior to working at The Fox Club, Kyle was Assistant Professional at Chicago Golf Club and remains a Class “A” PGA of America Member.
Additionally, Liz Keplesky, previously the National Sales Manager for EP New York and Account Executive in the Met Section, was promoted to National Sales Director for all of Summit Golf Brands. In this role, Keplesky will oversee daily communication with the sales teams for each of the brands and work closely with Lessing in developing specific territory strategies.
Regarding Keplesky’s promotion, Lessing stated, “We could not be more excited for Liz Keplesky who continues to excel in leadership roles and demonstrate an uncompromising passion for our company and sales organization.”
Taking over Keplesky’s previous Account Executive responsibilities in the Met Section is Kim Schrader. Kim has represented EP NY and Zero Restriction Ladies the past two seasons. She will continue covering Zero Restriction Ladies in the Met Section and EP New York in the Met Section and New Jersey. In addition to her role as an Account Executive, Kim will spend time in the territory assisting customers with shop merchandizing and tournaments for all brands. Prior to coming to Summit, Kim was a Pro Shop Manager and brings a unique skillset and merchandising expertise to this position.
