Revelyst, a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies, yesterday announced the appointment of Joyce Butler as Chief Human Resources Officer. Revelyst, the Outdoor Products division of Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO), is in the process of separating into a standalone public company, with an expected execution date of later this year.
Butler has dedicated her career to developing leaders and helping individuals, teams and organizations thrive. She has more than 25 years of experience in several industries, including health care, technology, and play and entertainment. Butler most recently served as CHRO for Avid Technology Inc., the Burlington, Massachusetts-based technology and multimedia company that develops digital non-linear editing systems, video editing software, audio editing software, music notation software and management and distribution services. Before Avid, she worked in various human resources and talent management roles for PTC, Hasbro, Lifespan and more.
“One of the hallmarks of Revelyst is our intense focus on building a people-first culture emphasizing the power of teams and team building,” said Eric Nyman, CEO of Revelyst. “Joyce is the right leader to help us drive and build that team-first mindset at Revelyst, as we redefine what is possible with our incredible brands. Her human resources expertise, coupled with the diverse, multi-industry background she brings to Revelyst, will help us ensure we build the right talent strategy needed to become the world’s No. 1 house of brands and an employer of choice in our industry.”

She joins a growing Revelyst management team, including Nyman, CFO Andy Keegan and General Counsel Jung Choi.
“I’m thrilled to join the Revelyst team as we become a standalone company that’s brand-led, consumer-obsessed and maker-fueled,” said Butler. “This is an incredibly exciting time for our people. I am passionate about helping companies build employee-first cultures, and I will ensure Revelyst invests in our people, brands and innovation to drive sustained, profitable growth and an extraordinary culture.”
