CHASING Targets Global Growth with New GM, North America Expansion

Advancing its mission to equip humanity in exploring Earth’s last
frontier, underwater drone company CHASING has established a US company
in Seattle, WA and hired industry veteran Sage Raterman as GM.

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–“With Sage Raterman joining our company, we will improve sales and
service quality in the Americas, and potentially the whole world, “says
Jacky Yang, CMO of CHASING.

Sage Raterman states, “I’m excited to join a group of people who are
designing truly great products and have built a strong culture. CHASING
is at the forefront of the underwater drone industry; they’re
customer-centric and have the R&D and manufacturing required to lead
this space.”

A cross-functional strategic expert in business and product development
for 15+ years, Raterman successfully launched PowerVision in North
America and Australia as Sr. Director of Sales after helping establish
and lead Autel Robotics to a #2 market position behind DJI in aerial
drones. His prior work at BOSCH and other companies cemented his ability
to help international companies find sales, marketing and operational
success in the desirable and challenging North American market.

With CHASING, Raterman and his team are focused on delighting end-users
with world-class local sales, support and service. They are vigorously
enhancing the level of CHASING’s products and services. Through constant
promotion of stepwise growth via word-of-mouth marketing, they aim to
redefine the business model of the underwater drone industry, making
CHASING the world’s leading underwater drone manufacturer.

CHASING’s founder and CEO Johnson Zhang and COO Joen Zhou are excited to
have Raterman onboard. Zhang believes Raterman’s strong alliance with
his team will inject vitality into the company, a great value in
developing CHASING’s strategic global organization, and the promotion of
its core business.

“I love technology, building a company, and delighting customers,” said
Raterman. “CHASING is the best opportunity to do what I love, with
people I enjoy. I’m looking forward to joining together, strategizing,
and executing with our six co-founders to expand CHASING’s international
market.”
