Suzuki Marine USA has promoted Brandon Cerka to the role of executive vice president, sales, marketing and service.
In his new role, Cerka will report to Suzuki Marine USA president Daiki Sugiura, and will be supported by George ‘Gus’ Blakely, who will remain in an advisory role.
Cerka has been with Suzuki Marine in many roles since 2012, including district sales manager, sales development and marketing, department manager, general manager, and most recently, vice president, sales and marketing.
Before joining Suzuki, Cerka grew up around boating and worked in many roles at his father’s marine dealership.
As executive vice president, sales, marketing and service, Cerka will continue building on his track record of driving sales growth, expanding market share, strengthening dealer and boatbuilder partnerships nationwide.
Steady growth
He will also contribute towards enhancing the customer experience through improved service, and positioning Suzuki Marine as the easiest outboard company to do business with.
“Brandon’s leadership has helped our company maintain steady growth during tough times,” said Sugiura.
“Yet, he has also proven himself to be bold thinker not afraid of trying new ways to make our company even better.
“We have benefited greatly from his expertise and today, Suzuki Marine is well-positioned for continued growth.”
