Pflugerville, TX, Jan. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TrackingPoint, Inc. announced today that it has welcomed Tommy Millner, former CEO of retail giant Cabela’s, as a special advisor to TrackingPoint’s Board of Directors.
“TrackingPoint’s vision for the future is to bring our remarkable technology to the day-view optic market through traditional channels,” said Ken D’Arcy, TrackingPoint’s CEO, President, and Chairman of the Board. “Tommy’s veteran experience in the shooting sports and retail industries will play a key role as we advance our strategy in 2018 and beyond.”
Millner served as CEO of the Nebraska-based Cabela’s for almost 9 years. Prior to Cabela’s, he spent 14 years as president and CEO of North Carolina’s Remington Arms Company.
“TrackingPoint’s direction in combining precision technology in a day-view optic is a game-changer for shooting and hunting sports,” Millner said. “They have continuously improved the optics technology since 2011, and I believe that with the right strategy and partnerships, TrackingPoint will emerge as the leader in precision optics.”
