ABOUT CHRISTIAN WHITTAKER

Senior sales leader with 15+ years of experience driving revenue growth, developing top‑performing sales teams, and shaping national account retail strategy within the golf and sporting goods industry.Proven track record of delivering results through strong executive-level relationships, strategic account leadership, and effective collaboration across internal and external cross-functional teams.My experience working for multiple golf OEMs, in both territory and national account sale roles, has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the complete golf retail ecosystem—consumers, customers, products and their lifecycles, the various retail channels, and all the other unique dynamics that make the golf business so great.Currently I lead 13 territory Sales Reps and 3 Experiential Reps (16 total direct reports) in the Southwest Region for TaylorMade Golf. My core responsibilities are to oversee and deliver on all regional sales metrics and budgets, grow our largest key account partnerships, and develop my team members - something I especially love to do.Previously, I led one of TaylorMade’s largest national accounts, partnering directly with executive leadership to deliver joint growth initiatives that elevated brand presence, market share, and revenue targets.After 15+ years in the industry, I’m known for leading and building winning sales teams, aligning sales execution with corporate strategy, and developing long-term partnerships from the C‑suite to the field. I bring a determined, disciplined, and data‑driven approach to leadership—balanced with a strong focus on culture, team, accountability, and delivering results.Open to senior leadership opportunities where I can drive strategy, develop talent, and create lasting business impact.
