Today, he oversees finance for the $5 billion marine business whose portfolio includes prominent boat brands like Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Bayliner, Lund, and Harris, along with Mercury Marine engines and Freedom Boat Club (Brunswick's subscription boat service). The company's footprint also extends to advanced marine technology brands like Lowrance and Simrad.
