About Mike Kelly

I am proud to be a team member within the Pure Play Marketplace category at KEEN, providing comprehensive support and a sustainable, Consciously Created product assortment to our valued Ecommerce Wholesale partners within North America. The opportunity to work with a values driven company focused on creating a shoe industry that has a positive impact on lives has provided me with a true purpose in building retail partnerships. Prior to KEEN, I worked within both the Quiksilver and DC Shoes sales teams under the Boardriders, Inc collection of brands. My 20 years of experience in the action sports industry has allowed me the opportunity to work for influential brands within the eyewear, clothing and footwear categories, with the last 15 years focused specifically in wholesale B2B sales. At Boardriders I held the position of Account Manager servicing Quiksilver and DC’s largest e-commerce wholesale retailers (Amazon, Zappos, Backcountry). During this time I was awarded the honor of Rep of the Year 4 times (twice for each brand).In prior roles I was fortunate to work with specialty skate, snow, apparel and family shoe stores in the Mid-West and Western US territories. I am a passionate sales lead with a proven track record of consistent growth and truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with our retailer partners. Outside of the office, you’ll find me spending time with my family outdoors, at the beach, snowboarding, fishing or playing hockey.
