The Dyrt, a camping and travel booking app, hired new Head of Sales Rob Hudson.
Hudson has spent two decades in advertising media and technology, most recently as senior sales director at Outside Interactive for the past three years.
According to The Dyrt CEO Kevin Long, “Hiring Rob as our first head of sales is a monumental moment for The Dyrt. Rob’s unique expertise and experience in the outdoor space will help drive our vision to become much more than the best resource for places to camp. His new team will create a more robust offering for campers — one that will help them camp better overall.”
Before managing sales executive team at Outside, Hudson worked for publishers Active Interest Media and Time Inc./Bonnier Corp.
“I am an entrepreneur at heart,” Hudson said. “I have successfully launched companies as well as joined early-stage startups to help accelerate their revenue streams. Jumping on board with a company that is on a trajectory like The Dyrt is an amazing opportunity.”
Hudson graduated from St. Lawrence University in New York and began his career as a sales specialist with REI in Denver. A decade later, he was working in partnerships and business developments with Adventure Project, Inc. when REI acquired it. He is also a licensed pilot.
“I will be heading up partnerships and helping build the foundation of products and our go-to-market strategy, Hudson said. “The Dyrt has a rapidly growing audience base, so while we are building infrastructure for the future, we are also focusing on all the amazing things that are happening right now.”
