CRS Appoints New National Business Development Specialist
Commercial Recreation Specialists (CRS), a provider of commercial-grade recreation solutions, announced the appointment of Spencer Wiberley as the new National Business Development Specialist.
With over two decades of experience in transforming waterfronts into thriving recreational hubs on a large scale, Wiberley’s addition is a reinvestment into CRS’ mission to inspire the human spirit through active recreation, the company said in a release.
Wiberley’s achievements of establishing global junior sailing association programs and competitions along with waterfront operational development coincide with CRS’ mission to deliver solutions that drive results for CRS clients.
“With his consultation and expertise, Wiberley will undoubtedly help our clients take a prosperous leap into the growing market by expanding, enhancing or building their recreational facilities from the ground up,” CRS said.
Wiberley is renowned for his unique ability to empathize and understand business objectives while delivering strategic, goal-oriented solutions that consistently exceed client expectations. His consultative approach has resulted in numerous successful projects, creating win-win scenarios and fostering lasting relationships.
His leadership will focus on expanding CRS’ influence across the United States and the Caribbean, building robust partnerships with key stakeholders. Wiberley will also drive the growth of diverse market segments, encompassing national accounts, resort and campground developers, and expansive multi-location projects.
“We are very fortunate to have someone of Spencer’s background and character joining the team,” said Ryan Hartberg, vice president of sales and marketing for Commercial Recreation Specialists. “His commitment to ethical business practices and his passion for providing solutions — particularly into the recreation industry — will be a benefit to our customers. His background in sales, operations, manufacturing and project-based work is a huge asset for CRS, our clients and our partners.”
Wiberley’s career began in bio-chemical and genetic DNA analysis, but his passion for people quickly redirected his path towards recreation and business development. He has devoted his career to supporting youth sailing programs through esteemed organizations such as the International Optimist Dinghy Association (IODA) and the United States Optimist Dinghy Association (USODA). His tenure with McLaughlin Boat Works, where he not only supplied boats but also nurtured a legacy of skill development and access, exemplifies his commitment to impactful, consultative partnerships. He is eager to help CRS clients scale their concepts and achieve their visionary goals.
