Testimonials

Ever-articulate, Layne is always armed with the perfect example or analogy that makes his vision clear and inspires others to challenge their own thinking and perform at a higher level. He leads with logic, lightheartedness and a transparent communication style that builds consensus and collaboration.
I unconditionally recommend Layne and would choose to work with him again in any industry.

- Shannon Morgan, CEO, Stasher (an SC Johnson Company)

“I have had the privilege of working with Layne for over 10 years. As my peer and eventually my boss, I came to appreciate Layne’s commitment to integrity, top performance and fairness. He possesses a powerfully analytical mind as well a sharp feel for the business which guided us through years of rapid growth. He also supported the business by hiring and retaining a lean, effective team to service the sales of our expanding business. This was all coupled with an ability to articulate complex ideas in effective and thoughtful manner to a variety of audiences which was second to none.”

- Jeremy Galten, Founder, The Galten Group

“Layne brings an incredible depth of insight and experience to the world of growth stage companies. He has a unique ability to distill complex challenges down to very manageable and practical thoughts. Despite a career heavy in consumer and outdoor brands, he is able to dive deep into the dynamics that every company faces. I can't say enough great things about working with Layne.”

- Marc Nager, Greater Colorado Venture Fund

Layne is a unique quantity in the outdoor world. He tells the unabashed truth, even when uncomfortable, and is fully committed to a brand's ethos. The first time I met Layne, I remember thinking, "wow, this guy IS CamelBak" - he had crystal clear vision for the what the brand meant, where it could play, and what it was capable of.

Layne has taught me that growth and profitability are accelerated by a brand's culture. Culture creates meaning and drive within an organization. It creates permanence, fosters creativity, retains high performers, and reinforces a long term perspective to value creation.

- Brian Murphy, CEO, American Outdoor Brands

Layne has an acute mind and is as verbally dexterous as anyone I've worked for. Layne has an uncanny ability to see downstream implications of key decisions, ensuring the team's safe passage through often turbulent waters. A great, active listener, Layne has a unique ability to connect with both CamelBak associates and customers. Layne has a depth of experience that few can match yet he never seems content to rest on his laurels.
