Norwest Equity Partners announced on Monday the appointment of Michael Magerman as Chief Executive Officer of Eyebobs.

 
Magerman possesses over 30 years of industry-leading consumer management leadership. He most recently served as President and CEO of Quickie Manufacturing Company, and completed the successful integration of Quickie into the Jarden Corporation Home and Family division. In 1990, he founded Odyssey Golf, the largest manufacturer of golf putters in the world, and sold the company to Callaway Golf seven years later.
 
His appointment to CEO of Eyebobs allows for Julie Allinson, the company founder and current President, to focus on key strategic initiatives for the company including serving as brand ambassador.

Eyebobs was founded in 2001 offering high-quality reading glasses. The Minneapolis-based company sells its products through brick-and-mortar locations throughout the US and abroad and directly to customers on the Eyebobs website. Eyebobs has been a Norwest Equity Partners brand since March 2015.
