In his new role, Barnett will work with key Zanders management staff members focusing on driving strategic growth opportunities, strengthening key partnerships, and expanding Zanders’ reach into emerging markets across the U.S. With a strong background in sales leadership, marketing and channel development, Barnett brings a results-driven approach to an already accomplished team.

In Caleb’s free time he enjoys shooting, live sporting events, riding his Harley motorcycle and spending time with his son and family.
