Let’s discuss opportunities for women in the recreational boating industry, the importance of mentors and champions, and how today’s leaders can help grow and support the next generation of marine industry talent. David Gee’s guest on this edition of Boating Industry Insider is Christine Carlson McKone, Vice President of Marketing for Volvo Penta. She has built a career that has taken her from marketing communications to industrial sales, back into boating as marine marketing director, and ultimately into her current leadership role. In our conversation, we talk about her boating background, what she loves about the recreational marine industry, her career ascension at Volvo Penta, and her perspective as a Boating Industry Women Making Waves honoree.
