Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) promoted Darin Uselman to chief operations officer (COO). Uselman joined KOA in 2017.
Previously overseeing operations for KOA’s campgrounds, Uselman will now oversee KOA and Terramor, the company’s glamping brand based In Bar Harbor, Maine.
“In already overseeing both our franchise system and owned portfolio operations individually, Darin has proven his ability to generate success within multiple disciplines,” said Toby O’Rourke, KOA president and CEO. “By applying his talents across all our operations, he will create a cohesive engine for growth in our organization, regardless of brand or ownership, and drive superior service to our franchise partners.”
Prior to working at KOA, Uselman gained operations experience at GE Capital, a financial services company, as a strategic program manager and collateral initiatives leader. Uselman was a former PGA golf professional and spent several years in golf operations for an East coast homebuilder.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity to lead and work alongside industry-leading outdoor professionals across North America,” Uselman said. “I look forward to utilizing my experience as we combine our operational team to build franchise relationships, drive band value and continue to demonstrate KOA’s operational excellence in outdoor hospitality.”
