Weekly Club Meeting to be held at CCY and on Zoom.
Nick Gilson - Founder and CEO of Gilson Snow, a premium manufacturer of snowboards and skis located in Winfield, PA - will join us to discuss the importance of failure and adversity through the lens of building a business from the classroom, to a cabin in the woods, to a global brand. Nick graduated in 2011 from Johns Hopkins University and taught middle school science in Nashville before launching Gilson Snow out of the classroom. He has received numerous awards in innovative product development and leadership and holds several snowboard and ski patents. He serves on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board and the board of the Innovative Manufacturers Center. His company has entered into deals with the NHL, MLB, Hasbro (Transformers, Monopoly), AC/DC, Slayer, Pink Floyd, among others. Nick and Gilson Snow have an intense focus on responsible US manufacturing, tight supply chains, taking care of their people, and telling meaningful, content-driven stories.
