AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Volcon, the first all-electric, off-road powersports company, today announced the appointment of Jordan Davis as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Davis will be executing Volcon's 360-degree plan by leading the next operational phase of the company—elevating processes of the organization including production line efficiency, marketing initiatives, business development, and scaling of the sales team—at an important time for the electric powersports brand as the company's first model, the Grunt, begins shipping to customers.
"At Volcon we're not only approaching riders who are pivoting from gasoline to electric, but also we feel there's an untapped opportunity in the off-road sporting goods industry to expand electric mobility," said Davis, CEO of Volcon. "We believe our Grunt model checks all the boxes for experienced riders as well as those who may have only ever ridden a bicycle before. It's truly a versatile off-road product that will provide great riding for our core motorcycle enthusiasts and those interested in hunting, fishing and exploring."
Davis, previously President, Americas of O. Mustad & Son, a leading fishing product manufacturer, will lead Volcon as the all-electric Grunt comes to market. Prior to Mustad, Davis held leadership positions over the course of nearly a decade with the Remington Arms Company, proof of his passion and dedication to the outdoor sporting goods industry. He holds a BA of Business Administration with a dual focus in management and marketing, and an MBA in Management, both from Bushnell University (formerly Northwest Christian University) and is currently a board member of the Mule Deer Foundation.
Davis' appointment as CEO will succeed Andrew Leisner, who has served as Chief Executive Officer since the company's establishment.
