In order to increase responsiveness to this fast paced market, Propper has expanded their Military Division with some promotions as well as new hires in business development, research and development, and uniform technologies. Propper has assembled some of the top subject matter experts in the industry to focus specifically on the military market. While there are some new members of the team, not all of the faces in this expanded division are unfamiliar.
Stu Muladore was promoted last year to Vice President of Military Sales. Stu came to Propper after retiring from the Marines in 2007 and put his experience to work as Military Business Manager.
Greg Graves serves as Sales Manager for Federal agencies and brings a wealth of experience to the team. Greg, an Army veteran has been with Propper for 11 years and has developed an excellent relationship with his customer base whether military or federal agency.
Timothy Booth, an Experimental and Research Chemist brings over 22 years of experience in fabric treatment and finishing and will work with the military to improve FR and other protection properties such as insect repellancy.
Jonathon Long recently retired from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel in charge of procurement at the contracting command in Kuwait. He brings his experience as an acquisitions professional to bear in his new position as Program Manager, Military Systems.
Joining the team as Design Director is Dan Bergeron who cut his teeth in the outdoor industry with Arc’teryx where he produced several iconic designs. Dan went on to work with both BAE and Eagle Industries before joining Propper.
Lonnie Braxton comes on as Director of Fabric/Business Development after many years with Milliken & Company and will focus on new applications for textile technologies.
As you can see, Propper has assembled an excellent team and I am excited about the possibilities in the coming year.
