Cutter & Buck Announces New Omnichannel Sales Division To Better Engage Customers and Expand Sales
SEATTLE — Sportswear outfitter Cutter & Buck today announced the reorganization of its retail sales channels into one combined Omnichannel Sales Division, under the leadership of newly elevated Executive Director Dave Santiago.
The objective of the new division is to make Cutter & Buck products universally available in the consumer marketplace. “After assessing our organizational strengths and the needs of our customers, we realized we faced a massive opportunity,” said Joel Freet, CEO of Cutter & Buck.
“We have more great products, more inventory, more technology, and now, more people to attack our retail business than ever before. By going boldly with this transformation, Cutter & Buck will be positioned to better serve every retailer and every consumer,” Freet said.
Santiago brings more than 30 years’ experience as a revenue-driven sales executive to his role as executive director. “I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a dream team of talented professionals who share a passion for serving customers and consumers with quality products,” Santiago said. Before being tapped to lead the new division, Santiago headed Cutter & Buck’s licensed sports channel.
Supporting Santiago will be three strategic market managers, all of whom are currently with Cutter & Buck: Billy Boucock, Shirley Rawson, and Greg Sweeten. “These three outstanding leaders will work with our largest strategic customers and provide guidance,” Freet said.
Online sales through cutterbuck.com will be overseen by Deb Kay. In addition, four new regional managers will lead the Omnichannel field sales teams: Cimarron Grubb (South Central U.S.), Chris Kerr (Northeastern U.S.), Dan Moore (Western U.S.), and Tom Myers (Southeast U.S.).
