Nautilus Elects Former Kmart Exec to Board

The Nautilus Group has elected Donald Keeble to its board of directors. Keeble had been with Kmart Corp. for 29 years, including two as the retailer’s president of store operations.

“His strong background in operational and retail management will be helpful as we broaden our retail presence and introduce additional product lines,” said Gregg Harmmann, chairman and CEO of Vancouver, WA-based Nautilus.

Since his retirement from Kmart in 2000, Keeble has served as president of AKK Consulting. He is also executive vice president and chief operating officer of Spirit Entities, a contractor for water purification systems for export.

Nautilus manufactures and sells a variety of branded health and fitness products, which are marketed under the names Nautilus, Bowflex, Schwinn and StairMaster.
