Phil Villeneuve

There’s no how-to manual for what Phil does, but having entrenched himself as a respected resource within the outdoor communities, he has managed to build a career in the world of sales & sports-marketing under his own business: Newtown Sales & Marketing - working amidst athletes, events, retailers and brands that fuel his passion for the outdoors! Until recently, the bulk of his job descriptions were focused within the categories of Nordic Skiing and Trail Running - This included everything from athlete & event management, to retail and social media support. Although he continues to manage specific aspects of these tasks, the opportunity to take over an active sales role opened up another chapter that would eventually lead to the representation of current brands such as Salomon Nordic, Footwear and Apparel categories, Suunto, Mavic and most recently, Cervelo & Focus bicycles. The combination of sales & marketing roles is a great mix that offers variety of challenges to keep Phil motivated throughout the seasons. But despite the workload and heavy travel schedule, one thing is for sure, whether at his home in the Canadian Rockies, or on the road, you’ll most likely find Phil planning out his next escape!
