“We are thrilled to be bringing such top-notch talent to the IR team,” says Drew Keegan, President of Industrial Revolution. “Their depth of experience combined with their genuine passion for the outdoors make them a natural fit for our tight-knit team, and we know they’ll contribute in a big way from the get-go.”
