SOLANA BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB) September 13, 2018 -- HYLETE, Inc., a digitally native fitness apparel company, has announced that Joseph Johnson has joined the team as Chief Financial Officer.

Joseph joins HYLETE from prAna Living, a subsidiary of Columbia Sports Company, where he worked as the Corporate Controller from May 2012 to July 2018. He operated in a large public company environment, with revenues in excess of $135 million and $2.5 billion for prAna Living and Columbia Sports Company, respectively.

We have been working toward going public in the near future, and having Joseph’s experience and drive to manage the financial health of the company could not have come at a better time,” said Ron Wilson, CEO and Co-Founder of HYLETE.
