T-H Marine plans for future with new appointment

T-H Marine, the Alabama manufacturer of boating and fishing products, has appointed a new National Sales and Marketing Manager as part of its plan to build its next generation of executive-level leaders.

Chris Drahman has more than 25 years experience of sales roles in the industry, including 14 years at T-H Marine’s OEM and distributor sales reps, William F. Miller & Associates.

“We have known Chris for many years and he is exactly what you expect from a true sales professional — a great fit with our boating-centric culture and our aggressive business attitude,” said T-H Marine President and CEO, Jeff Huntley. “T-H Marine is building our next generation of executive-level leaders and Chris is a big part of that plan coming into place. We are very excited about the future as we continue to outpace industry growth and we are proud to have Chris’ horsepower to help push that dynamic growth, both organically and through acquisitions.”

Working alongside veteran VP of Sales and Marketing, Greg Buie, Drahman’s role will be to ensure the brand grows across its various channels and meets the needs of customers, to identify business development opportunities and to lead sales strategies.

“T-H Marine has always had a motto that ‘Fridays are for Fishing’, fostering an appreciation for why the company exists,” he said. “I look forward to reinforcing the company’s ability to put current products to the test, produce ideas for new products and make the boating and fishing experience even better for everyone.”
