Suzuki Announces Gabiel Castillo as
ATV Public Relations / Sales Promotion Senior Specialist
Brea, CA (4/24/2007)
- Coming on the heels of Suzuki ATV Division's announcement
of hiring Acorn Woods Communications as their PR firm,
is the news that they have created a new full time in-house
position of ATV Public Relations/Sales Promotion Senior
Specialist. This new slot will be occupied by Gabriel
Castillo who has moved up from within the Suzuki ranks.
Gabe has worked for Suzuki in their customer service
department for the last three years. He came to the
attention of Operations Manager Rod Lopusnak because
of his easy-going, personable manner and get-it-done
attitude – two qualities that they both share.
Prior to Suzuki, Gabe had a stint at Yoshimura, Pro
Circuit and Race Tech Suspensions where he spent some
time wrenching. He is no stranger to ATVs or motorcycles.
His childhood was spent on dirt bikes and quads in the
deserts of California and Mexico (he is bilingual in
Spanish). Currently, he has traded up to a GSX-R750
that he rides to and from work as well as to college
where he is finishing up a communications degree.
Gabe will be working directly for Rod Lopusnak in the
Brea, CA office, assisting him in coordinating new product
launches, media support and overseeing special promotions.
"I'm thrilled to have someone so eager and personable
as our in-house ATV PR specialist," Lopusnak commented.
"Suzuki is looking beyond just our immediate goals
when it comes to public relations. We are constantly
trying to better the sport as a whole – across
OEM lines. By increasing our PR operations, we are taking
a leadership role within the ATV community."
