Gibbon North America – Chief Revenue Officer

Founded in 2007, GIBBON is the world leader in slackline products and innovation. From Super Bowl halftime shows to Cirque du Soleil performances, GIBBON’s products have helped produce some of the best balance athletes in the world. GIBBON North America holds the exclusive license to sell GIBBON products throughout North America. The company has been growing exponentially since launching the GIBBON Slack Board, the most dynamic and versatile balance training tool on the market.

GIBBON North America has sold more than 100,000 Slack Boards and grew Slack Board sales more than 4X year over year in 2024, from $3 million in 2023 to more than $14 million in 2024. We expect to at least double revenue to more than $30 million in 2025 and are currently well ahead of plan. Our exclusive focus has been direct-to-consumer sales, primarily through our website, with the majority of our awareness coming from Meta advertising.

In 2025, we intend to continue to squeeze as much as we can out of Meta while preparing to execute our longer‑term three‑pronged strategy of selling through brick‑and‑mortar retailers, leveraging television‑based advertising, and expanding our penetration into commercial markets. The Chief Revenue Officer will help shape the future of our company by maximizing our sales and marketing efforts across all channels.

The CRO will report directly to the CEO and have a team of 7 full time employees to start as well as a number of outside contractors supporting their efforts.
