The executive team at Solo Brands is starting to come into place. The whole team saw lots of transition over the past couple of years, with some roles turning over multiple times.
Many members of the new team started the year with an interim tag. We’ve seen the CEO recently lose the interim tag, and now other executives are doing the same.
There hasn’t been a public announcement by the company, but interim CMO, Liz Vanzura, announced on her LinkedIn that she’s officially the CMO.
I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as CMO (dropping the Interim title) – and Member Board of Directors (NYSE: SBDS) at Solo Brands!
So many wonderful customers enjoying and loving their Solo Stoves, Pizza Ovens, and now our new Griddle and Cooler. It’s an honor to be part of this talented team launching some amazing new products. I can’t walk down our street without someone talking to me about their great experience/quality time around their smokeless fire pit with their friends and family. And who doesn’t love enjoying a good S’more?
Liz Vanzura, CMO of Solo Brands – From LinkedIn
She replaced Luana Bumachar who was CMO of Solo Brands for only a short time. Her tenure was marked by a follow-up to the famous (infamous?) Snoop Dogg Solo Stove ad that seemed to be a turning point for the company.
Another executive that shed the interim tag is their General Counsel, Chris Blevins. He started with Solo Brands almost three and a half years ago as Deputy General Counsel. In January, he was named interim General Counsel, and now according to an SEC filing and his LinkedIn he’s the permanent hire for that role.
As Solo Brands continues to try to regain compliance on the stock exchange after being relisted, the stability at the executive level is another building block. The whole team at Solo Brands and Solo Stove have done a ton of work to right the ship from where they were at the beginning of the year.
