• Jeff Thompson will continue to serve as president, managing the company’s daily business operations. He has been with Vortex since 2002.
• 特拉维斯·杨（Travis Young）将担任首席执行官（CEO）的职务，并将管理Vortex的战略方向以及公司利益相关者进行的其他创业投资。此前，Young曾担任Vortex市场和全球战略执行副总裁，负责监督公司的营销团队。自2004年以来，他一直在公司工作。

• Cory Downing has been appointed senior vice president of Corporate Manufacturing & Development. He will oversee all Vortex manufacturing and development activities, which includes supply chain management, engineering, new product development, special projects, and facilities management.

These reassignments enhance Vortex’s senior management structure to account for growth, specialty and succession.
