KENNEWICK, Wash. — June 25, 2025 — Carbitex — a supplier of flexible carbon fiber composites focused on performance footwear, travel, and accessories — has announced the appointment of Jen Hanna to the newly created role of vice president of sales for the U.S. market.
Hanna brings more than 12 years of experience in advanced materials and textile innovation, most recently as the director of Innegra Sales at Quantum Materials LLC, and previously as President at Innegra Technologies. Her unique path into materials innovation began with her background in sports — as a former LPGA professional golfer and NCAA Division I golf coach — combined with her degree in health and exercise science from Furman University. This athletic foundation sparked her curiosity about product development and performance optimization through materials innovation.
“Jen has the rare firsthand experience in successfully bringing new advanced materials to market,” said Junus Khan, president and founder of Carbitex. “It’s a challenge that demands curiosity, deep understanding and drive. Moreover, her background as a former professional athlete and D1 coach adds a unique level of depth that’s truly exceptional. I’m honored and excited to have her join Carbitex as we continue accelerating our growth.”
Based in Greer, S.C., Hanna will lead U.S. sales and brand partner relations, joining Global Vice President of Sales Filippo Sarto to drive Carbitex’s continued expansion.
“Joining Carbitex is an incredible opportunity to pursue everything I love — sports, competition, technology and the relentless pursuit of performance through innovation,” Hanna said. “The way materials can optimize performance — especially in sports — is something I’ve always been fascinated by. I’m excited to be part of a team that’s redefining what’s possible and to help drive the future of high-performance materials.”
Hanna’s commitment to excellence extends across all her ventures, reflecting the same drive and dedication that defined her professional athletic career and continues to fuel her success in advanced materials. In her entrepreneurial pursuits outside of materials innovation, Hanna owns two locations of luxury dog boarding facilities and founded a nonprofit dog rescue organization that trains therapy dogs.
