Sportsheets Names Donavon Dartez General Manager

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Sportsheets has appointed Donavon Dartez as its new general manager.

According to a rep, Dartez brings more than 25 years of executive leadership experience spanning consumer products, lifestyle brands, wholesale distribution, global sourcing, and business operations. He has held senior leadership positions with Fossil Group, Volcom, DC Shoes/Quiksilver, Etnies, Element Brand, and most recently QWW, Inc., where he served as vice president of operations and business development and operating partner to the founder.

“Donavon brings a rare combination of business acumen, operational leadership, sales expertise, and entrepreneurial experience,” said Sportsheets CEO and owner Julie Stewart. “For more than three decades, Sportsheets has built its reputation through innovation, strong customer relationships, and a willingness to create categories rather than simply follow them. As we continue to grow and evolve, I am excited to welcome Donavon to the team. His leadership will help us strengthen our foundation, pursue new opportunities, and continue delivering the innovation our customers have come to expect.”

Added Dartez, “What attracted me most was the company's history of creating products and categories that have shaped the industry. I am excited to work alongside Julie, Kelly, and the entire Sportsheets team to build on that legacy, strengthen our partnerships, and help guide the next chapter of growth, and I look forward to meeting many of our partners at ANME and discussing opportunities for the future.”
