Stacie Bruno

Revelyst Chief Financial Officer of the Outdoor Performance Group

What relevant business experience do you have that aligns with the requested skillsets and experience that the board is currently seeking? 

With more than 15 years of progressive financial leadership in the outdoor industry, I bring deep expertise in strategic planning, fiscal stewardship, and operational efficiency. As Chief Financial Officer of the Outdoor Performance Group at Revelyst, Inc., I oversee complex, multi‑brand financial operations—balancing short‑term performance with long‑term sustainability. My experience spans all facets of finance, including budgeting, forecasting, treasury management, risk assessment, and audit oversight.

In my leadership roles, I’ve partnered closely with executive teams and boards to translate financial data into clear, actionable strategies that support mission‑driven decision‑making.

In addition to my corporate experience, I have served on nonprofit boards and understand the unique challenges and opportunities nonprofits face in balancing mission impact with fiscal responsibility. I am committed to applying my skills to ensure sound governance, transparent reporting, and the strategic use of resources to maximize organizational impact.

My blend of financial expertise, governance experience, and values‑driven leadership positions me to make a meaningful contribution to any board seeking strong, mission‑aligned financial stewardship

Background:

Stacie Bruno currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of the Outdoor Performance Group at Revelyst, Inc., overseeing the financial operations of brands including Simms Fishing Products, Bushnell, Stone Glacier, and Camp Chef. She joined Simms in 2010 as a Senior Accountant and steadily advanced through the org, transitioning to CFO in 2022. In February 2024, she assumed responsibility for the broader Outdoor Performance platform within Revelyst, where she drives strategic financial planning, budgeting, and efficiency across multiple outdoor‑lifestyle brands.

Stacie holds a master’s in professional accountancy from Montana State University, built on earlier roots in audit leadership as a Senior Accountant at Deloitte & Touche in Boise. Her financial acumen and long tenure reflect a deep commitment to both operational rigor and values‑driven stewardship in the sporting goods sector.

Beyond her professional career, Stacie has been involved with Camber Outdoors as a mentor from 2020-2022, as well as serving on the advisory council for the College of Business at Montana State University. In her free time, she enjoys trail running and skiing, camping, biking and backpacking with her family.

Ken Ratterree

KEEN CFO

What relevant business experience do you have that aligns with the requested skillsets and experience that the board is currently seeking? 

I am personally and professionally passionate about the outdoors, believing that the health of our industry—and the spaces that allow it to exist—are of utmost importance and that everyone deserves the opportunity to participate. I view business as an enabler of change, whether that means opening doors to advocate for public lands with government representatives, collaborating with the KEEN Effect on relief efforts, or developing long-range plans that enable investment in further sustainability and regenerative initiatives (what is the next PFAS?).

I would be extremely honored to have the opportunity to further contribute through OIA Board service and believe that both my skillset and experience would allow me to offer valuable perspective and support OIA’s mission and its members. As a longtime finance leader, I’ve directed long-range planning efforts, navigated multi-jurisdictional financial standards and reporting frameworks, and worked with boards to set budgets, assess long-term financial health, and evaluate strategic investments. I would love to apply those skills—along with my daily ambition to solve the unsolvable—to advance the work of OIA.

Background:

Ken Ratterree is a strategic finance executive with deep global experience and a passion for building great businesses and even better teams. Currently CFO at KEEN, he’s helping lead one of the most mission-driven footwear brands in the world—prioritizing innovation, sustainability, and growth with a clear-eyed financial strategy.

Ken’s career spans over 20 years across North America and Europe, including leadership roles at On Running, Columbia Sportswear, and adidas. Whether building a brand from scratch or optimizing a global P&L, he’s developed a reputation for shaping bold business strategies and fostering high-performing teams. His work has taken him from Portland to Germany and back again, sharpening his ability to lead across cultures, time zones, and business models.

At the core of Ken’s leadership style is a belief that strategy and culture are inseparable. He’s as focused on empowering people as he is on hitting performance targets—driving long-term value through clarity, collaboration, and momentum.

When he’s not in the office, you’ll most likely find Ken outside. A lifelong outdoors enthusiast and Eagle Scout, he spends weekends exploring the Pacific Northwest with his family—on trails, the water, snow, and anywhere else you can wear out a good pair of boots. His commitment to the outdoors isn’t just personal—it’s deeply woven into the values he brings to his work.
