Grow will work closely with the company’s chief executive officer, Bob Humphreys, and board of directors on strategic and corporate development initiatives; oversee the company’s legal, compliance, human resources, and administrative functions; and assist with investor relations efforts, Delta Apparel said in a press release.

Before joining Delta Apparel in 2011, Grow served in leadership roles for ScanSource, Inc, a Fortune 1000 technology distributor, and 3V Sigma USA, a leading producer of advanced specialty chemicals. He began his career with the Am Law 200 law firm Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. and most recently served as general counsel and secretary of security group, a multi-national finance company, where he led its legal, compliance, credit reporting, and central bankruptcy teams.

“We are excited to add Grow’s leadership and business perspective to our executive team. Grow brings a wealth of versatility and subject matter expertise gained through years of experience with public and private companies competing across a variety of industries. He knows Delta Apparel’s business intimately from having spent the better part of a decade as our vice president of administration and general counsel and serving as a director for several of our portfolio companies. Grow’s energy and stewardship were instrumental to our organic growth during that time and key to our acquisition of the Salt Life brand and several foundational pieces of our digital print business. We look forward to Grow once again contributing to the many growth opportunities ahead for our company and creating value for shareholders,” Humphreys said.
