Bernard Mariette Becomes President-CEO of Canadian Apparel Powerhouse Coalision, Owner of Orage et Lolë brands

Montreal (ots/PRNewswire)

Bernard Mariette, partners
with the founders of the Orage and Lolë brands and with private
equity fund Kilmer Capital Partners and is appointed President and
CEO of Coalision Inc.
Coalision Inc., a company founded in 1989 in Montréal (Canada) by
Evelyn Trempe and Eric D'Anjou, currently generates most of its
revenue in North America through the selling of its sportswear brands
Orage and Lolë to highly active consumers looking for modern and
original styling:
- Orage has been redefining skiing and free lifestyle riding
    for 20 years and is a cult brand for those who live to ski and for
    mountain sports, from Whistler to Laax or New York City.
    - Lolë is designed for women who make the most of every moment and who
    are looking for stylish and technical apparel, both for sports and to
    "Live Out Loud Every day".
With his track-record at Timberland and the incredible
success-story of Quiksilver, Bernard Mariette has now chosen
Coalision to pursue new challenges.
"I first joined Coalision as a director, accepting the invitation
of Eric D'Anjou and Kilmer Capital, the private equity fund that is
investing in Coalision's future growth. In addition to sharing
identical values with the co-founders Eric, Evelyn and Jean-Pierre
Ferrandez, Executive Vice-President of Orage, I soon realized that
the Coalision brands, the quality of their products, the fresh spirit
of their team, and Kilmer's vision and support would allow us to
develop something very strong and compelling.
Thus, I accepted an operational role to accelerate the company's
growth in North America and to further establish its brands in the
rest of the world."
