GPM Manufacturing, a fast-growing hot tub and swim spa manufacturer and distributor, announced the appointment of James “Jim” McClure as executive vice president. With over 40 years of leadership experience in the industry, McClure will drive strategic initiatives and operational excellence across the organization.
“Finding leaders with Jim McClure’s combination of industry expertise, proven leadership capabilities and cultural alignment is rare,” CEO Peter Von Hopffgarten says. “His appointment represents a major milestone in strengthening our leadership bench and positioning the company for sustained success in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
“GPM brings retail knowledge and the voice of the customer,” McClure says. “They’re on the battleground, talking to customers every day, so they know what people are looking for in terms of features, benefits and price points. They approach it from the retail side and bring that back to manufacturing. I look forward to using that understanding [of the customer] to underpin GPM’s continued success and to shape its future direction.”
