The company said, Kerslake joined Prana as CEO in 2009 and engineered a strategy that enabled the brand to grow sales to 100 million dollars in 2014, when Columbia Sportswear Company acquired the brand. Since then, Prana brand sales have grown nearly 50 percent.

Outgoing Prana CEO Kerslake added: "Leading the Prana brand for the past 8 years, becoming a part of Columbia Sportswear Company's family of brands, and serving as a member of Columbia's leadership team have all been true highlights of my career.”

On the interim basis, Prana’s responsibilities will be led by CFO Mike Pogue and Vice President of Marketing Nancy Dynan. They will report to Doug Morse, Columbia's Senior Vice President of emerging brands & APAC.
