PORTLAND, Ore. (March 21, 2022)/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Rumpl, the category leader in premium, technical blankets, announces the hiring of David Visnack as vice president of product and marketing and Ellyn Craven as vice president of finance. These additions round out Rumpl’s leadership team as the brand enters a period of key growth.

Visnack will join the Rumpl team effective today, bringing over 20 years of product and marketing experience to help guide Rumpl’s long-term go-to-market strategy. Visnack most recently served as chief marketing officer for hydration brand Silipint. Visnack was previously vice president of product across Helen of Troy’s brand portfolio, having served as vice president of marketing, product and e-commerce at Hydro Flask, prior to its 2016 acquisition by Helen of Troy.

“Rumpl is one of the most eye-catching brands in the outdoor and lifestyle categories. We are on a tear. The brand has caught the eye of a lot of people with its creative designs, brand and artist partnerships, and innovations in the material space,” says Visnack. “I’m thrilled to join Wylie [Robinson, Rumpl’s founder and CEO] and the rest of his talented team to push this category leader forward and create blankets and experiences people fall in love with.”

Along with Visnack, Ellyn Craven joins the Rumpl leadership team as vice president of finance. Craven brings more than two decades of finance experience to Rumpl. Nearly half of that comes from her time at Hydro Flask, where she was responsible for global financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting. Notably, she stewarded the financial operations of the consumer goods brand during the successful acquisition by Helen of Troy.

“David and Ellyn bring a tremendous amount of experience to Rumpl. They will be crucial in Rumpl’s growth, and we couldn’t be luckier to have the two of them join our team during this pivotal time. Both David and Ellyn provide a level of expertise in their respective divisions that will allow Rumpl to scale and grow sustainably. I am thrilled to have them join our leadership team,” says Wylie Robinson, founder and CEO of Rumpl.
