Davis is based in Park City, Utah, but will spend much of his time in the new role traveling throughout the United States and Canadian provinces as Sweet Protection continues to grow its North American footprint.

“I’ve worked in the bike and ski industry for 25 years and have worked with many brands. As a father and a passionate bike and ski enthusiast, I have admired Sweet Protection and their mission ‘to create superior protection inspiring people to push their boundaries,” Davis said, “I’m excited to get to work with the amazing people at Sweet Protection, and our independent sales force, to grow the brand’s presence in the North American paddle and ski markets with a hyper focus on growing the bike segment.”
