Vortex Aquatic Structures International has a new vice president of product development.
Richard Martin has joined the Montreal-based maker of aquatic play products to lead its product development team.
He comes with 22 years of experience in the toy industry, progressing from a technical designer to various management positions at Mega Brands.
“As his own family has experienced firsthand the unique way waterparks and aquatic play installations bring together family members with varied interests, he looks forward to harnessing the power of water in helping children grow and families bond through play,” the company said in a press release.
The company has charged Martin with strengthening processes and increasing efficiency for the team.
“Like all of us at Vortex, Richard finds great fulfillment in seeing children develop and families share memorable experiences through play,” said Vortex International President Stephen Hamelin. “His extensive insight and track record will help drive innovation as Vortex continues to grow and create fun aquatic play events for children, their families and communities.”
