Vista Outdoor, the parent company of Camelbak, has confirmed the appointment of Dirk Ostertag as its new senior sales director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The German executive is taking over the responsibility for the region from a British executive, Andy Shand, who was based in London, handling all the international sales activities of the brand since 2010. As we previously reported, Shand left last spring to work for Helinox as European chief executive for the Korean brand. More in The Outdoor Industry Compass.
