Aqua-Leisure Recreation LLC, an aquatics industry leader in performance-based consumer products, announced the expansion of its team with the addition of 14 new hires and five promotions across its North America and Asia offices.

New hires and promotions range from senior-to-entry level positions. Notable senior-level hires include Peter Delahunt, Chief Financial Officer; Janice Wolffe, Senior Director, Data Integrity & Demand Planning; Ryan Seyffert, Director, New Product Innovation; Cecil Chai, Sourcing Director; and Raymond Pan, Quality Director.

  • James Bishai – Category Manager
  • James McMahon – Marketing Specialist
  • Jared Enos – E-commerce & Social Media Manager
