Propspeed, leading innovator of underwater foul-release coatings, announced today the appointment of Cameron Robinson as Business Development Manager - Australia and New Zealand. Robinson has relocated from New Zealand to Australia to develop key partnerships and service new clients.
Born and raised on Auckland's North Shore, Robinson left school to pursue a career in yacht building for world-renowned Cookson Boats. With over a decade of experience, he worked on various race circuits throughout New Zealand, Australia, the Americas, the Caribbean and Europe. Robinson worked closely with a number of high-profile sports teams; as well as private owners with highlights including breaking many offshore records on the Rambler 100, working on the Volvo Ocean Race and winning the America's Cup with Team New Zealand in Bermuda in 2017. His most recent positions include sales for Tesla and shore support for the America's Cup Emirates Team New Zealand.
"After nearly 20 years of boatbuilding in the race yacht industry around the world, I'm enjoying my new home at Propspeed," said Robinson. "I have already experienced a warm welcome in Australia and I'm very excited to expand the brand's reach through the region."
"Over the past year, we have experienced substantial growth, both in terms of sales, new partnerships and staffing worldwide," said Chris Baird, CEO, Propspeed. "We are dedicated to serving our growing customer base with key hires in vital markets. We are confident that Cam will be instrumental in our continued growth in 2021 and beyond."
Propspeed's ultra-slick topcoat is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. It is proven to increase boat efficiency, reduce drag, save fuel and maintenance costs. It features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer and the Clear Coat - ensuring that the Propspeed coating actually sticks to running gear, and any other underwater metals, and performs season after season. Propspeed products include Propspeed for running gear and all underwater metals, Foulfree for transducers and Lightspeed for underwater lighting.
