CHANGES are on the tee at national club fitter, Willowbrook based Club Champion.
Club Champion has announced the addition of a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Stores Officer, Regional General Manager. Plus six other new positions within the Club Champion corporate team.
“All of these big changes are crucial to the next phase of Club Champion,” said Nick Sherburne, company founder. “These new faces will help bring our proven model to as many golfers as possible. But we will open up new opportunities for our brand as we go.”
Adam Levy is the new CEO, taking over for Joe Lee, who lead the company for 11 years. Lee moves to Chairman of the Board, and will continue to be active in brand operations. Levy’s past experience is with Tumi, Tommy Hilfiger and Refac Optical Group.
“This is an exciting time to really dive into Club Champion’s success,” said Levy. “But I’m ready to move the brand toward international expansion, and a broader customer reach. Because the opportunities are endless for a company full of passionate employees. And bolstered by even more passionate customers.”
Rob Baumaister is the new Chief Stores Officer (CSO). He joins Club Champion after a leadership role at Floor and Decor. But new General Manager Scott Pastor, will focus on the West Coast.
But locally in Chicago at the Willowbrook headquarters, there will be six new team members. Their roles include marketing, customer service, and personnel recruitment to help with growth and expansion.
“So we’re taking the calculated risks needed to come out a stronger. And be an ever more dominant player in this space,” says Sherburne. “But our job is all about upgraded-equipment upgrades, score upgrades, confidence upgrades. Because we’re applying our trusted methodology to our own brand. So measure, enhance, and outperform expectations.”
