Brunswick Boat Group today announced that Tim Schiek has been named
president of Boston Whaler and Brunswick Commercial Government
Products (BCGP), effective immediately. Schiek, a 15-year Brunswick
veteran, will report to Andy Graves, president - Brunswick Boat
Group (BBG).
Schiek most recently was president of BBG's fiberglass fish boat
businesses, specifically the Triton and Trophy brands, having
assumed that role in 2008. Prior to that, Schiek led BBG's pontoon
category businesses, which included the Harris FloteBote, Cypress
Cay, Suncruiser and Crestliner brands in that category. Prior to
those assignments, Schiek had led the Boat Group's strategy
function, and was a driving force behind the implementation of
Brunswick's High Performance Product Development Process (HPPD).
Schiek began his career with Mercury Marine, which like the
Brunswick Boat Group, is a unit of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE:
BC).
Schiek succeeds John Ward, who will assume the new position and
responsibilities of senior vice president, global sales &
marketing for Brunswick's Hatteras and CABO brands, based in New

has been passed to capable hands. We wish to thank John for his
past leadership and many contributions to Boston Whaler."
