BOULDER, Colo. (BRAIN) — Jeff Wilbur has left CatEye America after 12 years with the company. "The timing was right for separation, as I understand the challenges midsize, dealer-direct models face when it comes to their marketing needs," Wilbur said.
Wilbur joined the U.S. branch of the Osaka, Japan-based cycling accessory company in 2003 as its customer service manager, and went on to serve as VP of operations and most recently as VP of marketing. Previous to CatEye, Wilbur managed a boutique road shop in Upstate New York and later two larger multisport shops in the Colorado Front Range.
"I'm incredibly proud of everything we accomplished during my years at CatEye, especially working with so many inspiring people in the industry — editors, media reps, athletes, agencies, distributors, sales reps and retailers," Wilbur said.
"I'm looking forward to the next challenges and opportunities that are coming into focus. " Wilbur said he is currently in negotiations to purchase and renovate a historic property that will house a full-service bike shop and café.
