Big news at Quantum Sails. We are thrilled to announce that Terry Hutchinson is returning to the team as our President of Business Development!
Terry is no stranger to Quantum. During his tenure from 2014 to 2019, he helped define what it means to perform at the highest levels of our sport, winning 15 of his 18 World Championship titles under Quantum sails.
Based out of our Annapolis loft, Terry will lead Quantum’s grand prix presence, connecting directly with our design and production teams while actively mentoring the next generation of sailors and sailmakers across our global network. His return also comes as Quantum continues to expand its global presence within the North Technology Group family of brands.
"Terry Hutchinson is one of the best sailors in the world, and he is also deeply experienced in collaborating with boat owners, project managers, and professionals across the sport," said Sam Watson, Chief Executive Officer of North Technology Group. "Quantum is an important part of the NTG family of brands, and we expect Quantum to keep growing worldwide while delivering the innovation and customer support the brand is known for. Terry's experience, relationships, and energy will strengthen that work. Terry Hutchinson and Quantum are a perfect fit."
"One of the things I'm most excited about is the opportunity to invest in people and the teams that Quantum supports," says Hutchinson. "Continuing onboard with Pieter Hereema's No Way Back in the TP 52 Super Series class keeps me and Quantum at the pinnacle of grand prix racing. Allowing for the lessons learned to trickle up or down to the opportunity on that day. There is so much talent across Quantum's loft network and throughout our sport, helping to create opportunities for the next generation of sailors, sailmakers, and industry professionals, and this is incredibly important to me. Whether it's competing at the grand prix level, working with a team in one of our lofts, or helping a young sailor take the next step, it all connects. If we can share what we've learned and help more people succeed in the sport, that's a big win."
For Quantum Sails President Andrew Scott, that rare mix of active competition, product development, and mentorship is what sets this return apart.
"He will also be helping bring along the next generation of sailors and sailmakers, which matters to him and to the future of our sport," Scott said. "And Terry will keep competing at the highest levels, which is exactly where we want him. It is a rare and special combination."
Please join us in giving Terry a warm welcome back to the Quantum family!
