Press Release (UNEDITED): STILLWATER, USA – KICKER ® /Stillwater Designs ® saw the completion of another long career in the mobile-electronics industry with the recent retirement announcement of Greg Lew. Lew served as the KICKER Global Supply Chain Director since 2006 during his 22 years with the audio manufacturer. Lew’s last day with KICKER was September 1.
“Greg’s detailed input and knack for logistics will be missed,” said Jay Ralston, KICKER General Manager. “We never worried when it came to his expertise with numbers and inventory.”
Lew came on with KICKER as Accessories Product Line Manager in June 2004 at the recommendation of former colleague Rob Limbaugh, who had been hired in Stillwater six months prior. For the next 22 years he worked in some form of KICKER Sales, most recently Supply Chain.
Taking into account his unique talents, management placed Lew in several positions during his KICKER career, including National Accounts Manager and director of other business units.

Greg, you were one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Every interaction with you was a real pleasure.
You have a rare ability to understand every side of an issue, and you consistently went above and beyond to help us find the right solution.
You will be missed my friend, but this is the start of an exciting new chapter. I hope you enjoy everything that comes next.
Thank you for all you have done for us, it means the world to me!
Greg,
Congrats on your extended and very successful ‘tour of duty’ at SD. You no doubt made a impact and difference there.
Having know you since your SoCal Valley retail tenure, never had any doubt you would thrive, no matter the elements of the gig. Glad that you found a home, post Mitek. Well done!
Curious what the next chapter will be and path you will pursue…
Cheers!
We will miss you Greg. You’ve been an awesome coworker, and great friend!
Enjoy the retired life, Greg! I’ve enjoyed working with you for a very long time. My next Flamin’ Doctor Pepper will be in honor. Cheers!
Will miss you Greg, glad was able to see you before you sailed away! Enjoy Brother
