FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Bryce Phillips to Return as CEO of evo

She has led an important period of our growth.

To me, evo was always more than a company based on products and transactions.

And when nurtured properly it is powerful and profitable.

We need to feed that culture and it will be a focus of mine as we continue to grow.

To a very bright future!

And what an incredible experience it has been!

In my time here, the evo team has worked hard, grown, and enjoyed many successes.

We recapitalized evo’s balance sheet and paid down debt during a tough economy.

All while balancing within evo’s unique culture.

Even during the harder times, we supported our cause initiatives with intention.

Some would say it wasn’t possible, but we did it!

He’s energized and has been getting ready for this ride.

Our aim is to bring all things relevant to the urban, action sports lifestyle into one creative space.
