Pelican's Stephan Corti Promoted to Chief Commercial Officer

	Stephan Corti, Pelican Products, Inc.

In its continued mission to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its organization, Pelican Products, Inc. has combined two of its US divisions into one robust entity. The company's consumer division (outdoor/adventure, hunt, fish, camp, etc.) and commercial/government division (military, fire/safety, police, industrial, aerospace, etc.) have merged into a single unit. Stephan Corti has been promoted from his previous position as president of the company's commercial/government division to chief commercial officer leading this combined entity.

Corti will continue to work alongside two of Pelican's most senior executives: Scott Ermeti, president - international business and David Williams, president - biothermal division (temperature-controlled packaging solutions). "With a career that spans more than two decades of sales, marketing, and leadership experience, Stephan Corti has proven himself to be the ideal leader for Pelican's combined US division," said Phil Gyori, Pelican Products' group president, who Corti will continue to report to. "Mr. Corti was chosen for this critical position due to his strong business acumen and keen understanding of the diverse channels and markets we serve."

As part of this reorganization several other key leaders have been promoted to take on new and/or expanded roles:

* Mitra Giles to senior vice president of US sales for the combined division
* Kevin Deighton to senior VP of engineering and product development
* Michael Tessman to vice president of commercial and government sales
* Catherine Shilander to director of commercial and government sales, eastern United States
* John Luna to senior director of product management
* Mike Iacono to director of sales operations and financial support
