Significant C-Suite Transitions at Vista Outdoor

There were two significant C-Suite transitions at Vista Outdoor (VSTO) this month. The company is known for being ammunition manufacturer for brands like Remington and Federal as well as outdoor products like Camelbak, Fox and Bushnell.

General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Dylan S. Ramsey, resigned from his position at Vista Outdoor on February 16, 2023, and will be leaving the company following a transition period.

The more notable departure however was that of Chris Metz, who on February 2, 2023 agreed to resign as CEO and director at the request of the Vista Outdoor Board based on the Board’s “loss of confidence in his leadership for reasons not involving financial reporting or internal controls”.
