Eleven-year veteran of Werner Paddles, Danny Mongno has taken over as the marketing manager, showcasing the brand’s premiere line of touring, whitewater, SUP and fishing paddles.
Most recently he held the role of field marketing manager, so the transition will be a hit the ground running scenario, as Mongno has been working with the marketing department on social media, development of Werner TV content, team management and the managing of a leading retail training module in paddle sports, G.U.I.D.E.
Vice president Don McClain felt this was “the natural progression” for Danny. “Since 2003 he has moved upward through the ranks with dedication to the brand and hard work, we are excited to see him lead us into the future.” Bruce Furrer, president, shared that sentiment but also added, “His time in the field and relationships he has built over the years made him the choice for the job. We cut him loose to spread our family story. Personally, and through the values he has instilled in our reps and our team, we continue to show that we are a legitimate paddling family, which also operates as a powerful company. He is the guy to carry that on.”
Since 1964, family-owned Werner Paddles has been designing and hand crafting ultimate paddle performance in Washington, USA.
