ANOKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 23, 2024--

Revelyst, a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies and a segment of Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO), today announced the appointment of Joe Beck as Chief Supply Chain Officer, effective April 22. In the third quarter, Revelyst launched GEAR Up, the company’s plan to simplify its business model, deliver increased efficiency and profitability, and reinvest in its highest potential brands to accelerate growth and transformation. The appointment of a seasoned, transformational supply chain, sourcing and logistics leader is key to helping Revelyst and its brands begin this new chapter.

Beck most recently served as Vice President of Global Supply Chain for embecta (NASDAQ: EMBC), a medical technology company where he oversaw global supply chain and distribution operations, including the overhaul of their global network design, planning, logistics, and trade technology and change management leadership. Beck was part of embecta’s leadership team executing the separation from Becton Dickinson and Co. (NYSE: BDX). During the transition, he helped establish the company’s supply chain infrastructure while ensuring continuity of supply and mitigating customer disruptions. His ability to design and deploy global supply chain operations for a standalone business — including hiring talent, building effective teams and developing processes, analytics and technology — made him an ideal candidate to be Revelyst’s first Chief Supply Chain Officer.

“Bringing a change agent like Joe to Revelyst’s leadership team is critical for our goal of becoming the industry’s No. 1 house of brands,” said Eric Nyman, CEO of Revelyst. “He has a unique talent for transforming a company’s supply chain by consolidating facilities and building new capabilities, which have a direct impact on the bottom line. Joe will help revolutionize Revelyst at the enterprise, platform and brand level, and we welcome his innovative thinking as we continue to build our culture of empowerment and excellence.”

Before embecta, Beck worked for Medtronic and UPS, two global Fortune 500 companies where he streamlined and optimized supply chain operations, which he will replicate and enhance in this new role. Beck is the latest executive to join Revelyst’s growing management team, including Nyman, CFO Andy Keegan, General Counsel Jung Choi and CHRO Joyce Butler. The addition of Beck will provide Revelyst with the supply chain and sourcing savvy needed in an increasingly competitive and complex global economy.

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime because it combines my outdoor passions with my love of helping companies become more efficient and effective moving products and information across the global supply chain,” said Beck. “I look forward to building a world-class team whose sole focus is optimizing the way Revelyst does business, building scale across our portfolio and developing innovative strategies that give our company and our brands a significant competitive advantage to accelerate growth.”

Padres win third straight with 7-1 victory over D-backs, look forward to potential Arráez addition

2024-05-04 13:14 Last Updated At：13:20

PHOENIX (AP) — Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jake Cronenworth hit back-to-back homers, Dylan Cease pitched 6 2/3 strong innings and the San Diego Padres won their third game in a row, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1 on Friday night.

Manny Machado hit a two-run homer. Cronenworth finished with three extra-base hits, adding two doubles.

The Padres had a big offensive game on the same night they learned they might be adding another good hitter. San Diego is close to acquiring two-time batting champion Luis Arráez in a deal with the Marlins.

“I think it's great — you're always looking for more offense and a left-handed bat to balance out the lineup,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “But listen, nothing's official. We'll leave it at that.”

The Diamondbacks have lost 10 straight series openers after beating the Colorado Rockies on opening day.

D-backs pitcher Slade Cecconi (1-2) retired the first nine batters he faced, but ran into trouble in the fourth. Jurickson Profar walked to start the inning and Tatis launched a shot to left-center — his seventh homer of the season.

Cronenworth followed with another homer to make it 3-0 and rookie Jackson Merrill broke an 0-for-20 stretch at the plate with a one-out RBI double for a 4-0 lead.

Cronenworth had a down 2023 season, but has looked much more like the hitter who was an All-Star in 2021 and 2022 through the first month of this season. He's batting .279 with six homers and 25 RBIs.

It was Cronenworth’s second straight game with a homer. He hit a grand slam in the team’s 6-2 victory over the Reds on Wednesday.

“It's the right approach with the right swing,” Shildt said. “He's married both. He's driving the ball to all different parts of the field and not trying to do to much.”

Cecconi didn't make it out of the fifth, giving up six runs over 4 1/3 innings.

The Padres' three-homer outburst provided plenty of support for Cease (4-2), the hard-throwing right-hander who gave up just one run on three hits while striking out eight. He didn't allow a walk.

“I think my fastball command was a lot better, which is really a lot of the battle,” Cease said. “When I'm getting my fastball where it needs to go, it opens up a lot of stuff.”

Machado made it 7-0 in the fifth with a two-run homer to left center off reliever Matt Bowman. The scorched line drive came off Machado's bat at 111.7 mph.

The sliding D-backs — defending National League champions — have lost 10 of their past 15 games and fell to 14-19 for the season.

“We got beat tonight,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. "We got out-managed, we got out-pitched, we got out-hit, we got out-coached. We've got to find a way to get the job done and play our type of baseball. That's the bottom line.

“We're grinding away. We're trying.”

Arizona finished with just three hits. Eugenio Suárez had an RBI single in the fifth.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Diamondbacks: Lovullo told reporters that closer Paul Sewald (oblique) and OF Alex Thomas (hamstring) could return to the active roster as soon as Tuesday against the Reds.

UP NEXT

The D-backs will throw RHP Brandon Pfaadt (1-1, 4.63 ERA) while the Padres will counter with RHP Michael King (2-3, 5.00 ERA) on Saturday night.
