The founding team of Stance discussed some key developments and strategies of the brand’s rapid growth in the action sports market and beyond at the SES Executive Roundtable last week.

CEO Jeff Kearl and President John Wilson provided interesting insights into how the brand started, some challenges they have encountered along the way, and about future opportunities the company sees.

Toward the end of the program other founding team members – Aaron Hennings, Ryan Kingman and Taylor Shupe joined Jeff and John onstage and talked about their approaches to manufacturing, design and marketing.

We’ll have a more detailed story about the interesting conversation that took place soon, and in the meantime we have photos from the event above in our slide show.
