About Chris V.
As a Sales Director with 29+ years of sales experience, I have successfully led and grown sales at Dakine Equipment, a leading brand in the action sports industry. I have developed and executed effective sales strategies for both the US and Canada markets, covering multiple channels and categories, such as apparel, accessories, and equipment. My core competencies are team building, sales operations, and analytical skills. I have built and managed a high-performing sales team of over 30 people, overseeing their training, coaching, and performance. I have also optimized the sales processes, systems, and tools, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. Additionally, I have leveraged data and insights to identify and capitalize on market opportunities, trends, and customer needs. My mission is to drive sustained sales growth and customer satisfaction for Dakine Equipment and its products. I have achieved this by creating and maintaining strong relationships with key accounts, sales teams, and partners, as well as by delivering innovative and competitive solutions that meet and exceed their expectations. I am passionate about the action sports industry and the lifestyle it represents, and I am always looking for new ways to expand and enhance the brand I work for.
