The Execute Sports (OTCBB: EXCS) Board of Directors announced today that Todd Hahn has been hired as the company’s CEO. From our perspective, he certainly has the leadership skills as well as the industry knowledge needed to keep pushing the sports equipment maker to the top of its game (pun intended).

Hahn had previously been with action sports agency Familie, although he actually got his start as a sports agent when he co-founded Action Sports Management - another action sports agency. Mr. Hahn has represented several of the top snowboard, skateboard and BMX athletes in the industry, so he’s clearly not in unfamiliar territory at Execute’s helm.

Prior to that, he served as Marketing Director and Retail Manager for Big Deal.com, and also as a national sales rep for World Industries. So again, he’s not unfamiliar with the process of getting products into distribution channels, and ultimately getting them into consumer’s hands.
