OTIS EYEWEAR, the 2016 & 2017 SIMA \u2018Breakout Brand of the Year\u2019 award nominee, and 2016 & 2017 SBIA \u2018Sunglass of the Year\u2019 award winner & nominee, today announces the appointment of Scott Lewis to the newly created role of Global Brand Manager.<\/p>\n

Lewis\u2019s appointment to lead the global development of OTIS caps several successful years for the brand: OTIS has emerged as one of the industry\u2019s most successful eyewear brands in the United States and Australia, driven by its dedication to producing premium eyewear using exclusively high-quality, distortion-free mineral glass lenses.
\nLewis brings to OTIS decades of surf industry and specialised eyewear experience, having served as Director of International Sales at Oakley Inc, Commercial Director of Oakley Europe, International President at Globe and Director of Sales and Business Development EMEA at Fox Head, Inc. Lewis has also previously served as strategic advisor to Spy Optic Europe and award-winning French optical brand Parasite Design. Lewis was engaged by The Leisure Collective in December 2016 to assist in strategic planning for the OTIS brand and will join the team full-time, home-based in the company\u2019s Australian office, in June.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the appointment, The Leisure Collective International CEO Nathan Omodei said: \u201cIt\u2019s been exciting having Scott involved with our group as we have mapped out OTIS\u2019 future path. Scott brings years of international experience and eyewear knowledge to the table that will help build OTIS at a global level. We are really happy to have Scott back home and on board.\u201d For his part, Lewis commented: \u201cOTIS is absolutely ready to re globally. The company strives for a level of excellence in product development and has a real hunger to improve and build. I couldn\u2019t have been asked to join a better brand, a better team, or be given a better opportunity to grow a business internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n
