Pat Quigley

An avid skier who sold sporting goods while growing up, Pat started as a rep with Salomon, then joined Henri Patty at Garmont. He then worked for a couple of years at Marker before returning to New York to promote St. Pauli Girl beer.

That’s when Lanvers hired him to lead Lange’s sales team in 1984. Pat’s iconoclastic style energized the organization with brilliant ideas and grand plans. He resurrected the Nordica “yellow banana” concept by adapting it to a dated Lange design, later painting it pink when buyers became tired of yellow and he spearheaded a mid-entry boot that would be sold under both the Lange and Rossignol names. When Dynastar became Lange’s distributor, Quigley moved to Vermont and stayed on through the early nineties.

After briefly rejoining Marc Lumet at SMH-Swatch, in 1993 Pat became EMI’s senior vice president of marketing - in the music recording business - a title he held until he moved to Tennessee and became the president/CEO of Capitol Records Nashville and was closely associated with Garth Brooks’ amazing success. In 2000, Pat Quigley joined DataPlay in Boulder as its Chief Marketing Officer. Today, after spending some time in Los Angeles, Quigley has returned to Nashville where he is currently retired.
