Big Agnes Inc., the Steamboat Springs, Colo-based outdoor equipment brand, recently hired Jill Lewis as director of North American dales and Eric Einfeld as senior demand planner. The company also completed relocation of its headquarters to a new location in downtown Steamboat Springs.
Lewis is a seasoned outdoor industry sales leader as she managed Canadian sales and then international sales at Cascade Designs. She brings a wealth of experience from various sales roles in industries ranging from music licensing to consumer-packaged goods. She grew up in New Hampshire, worked in her grandparents’ retail store from an early age and earned her MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management.
As the brand’s first senior demand planner, Einfeld will work closely with internal colleagues to teams to meet the growing global demand for its products. He was most recently senior manager of demand planning at Smartwool where he focused on supply chain planning, inventory, demand and master data and previously held planning and analyst roles at Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp.
The company also completed the relocation of its headquarters to downtown Steamboat Springs from a location closer to Steamboat ski area this past May. While the move occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, the new location, in the former City of Steamboat Springs Police Station, is just steps from the Yampa River and the year-round trail and recreation opportunities accessible from the center of town.
