DALLAS, Texas – January 2, 2019 — OrderMyGear, the leader in group eCommerce software for apparel and gear, announced today the appointment of Dave Dutch to the position of Chief Executive Officer.

In 2018, OrderMyGear facilitated orders for thousands of dealers, tens of thousands of teams and groups, and millions of coaches, athletes, fans, and administrators. Also in 2018, Susquehanna Growth Equity (SGE) invested $35 million into OrderMyGear to fund expansion and product development.

“Dutch has a long track record of leading software companies through the step change from the growth stage to industry-leading scale,” said Ben Weinberg, Managing Director at Susquehanna Growth Equity. “We are thrilled to welcome him to the team, and to work with him and Kent to build a category-defining company.”

“I’ve always been drawn to entrepreneurial potential,” says Dutch. “OrderMyGear has shown themselves year after year to be a company committed to creating exciting, innovative products for their customers, but also helping their customers move the needle in terms of sales. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with this amazing Team in order to make the next leap forward.”
