CapillaryFlow, provider of golf course and sports field drainage, moisture control and irrigation solutions, named new appointments to reflect the company’s continued growth and its commitment to excellence across sales, installations, field technology, finance, and the expanding equestrian segment.
The appointments include:
Richard Poskitt, sales and installation manager, EMEAA, Gothenburg, Sweden
Poskitt has been named sales and installation manager for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, bringing with him over two decades of hands-on experience across turf management, international sales and golf course operations.
Richard Poskitt
Poskitt began his career as a greenkeeper in Sweden, working at Kungsängen and Djursholm Golf Club before relocating to Kenya with his family, where he spent five years as a superintendent across two clubs. That early experience managing turf in demanding conditions laid the foundation for a career in which he has consistently operated at the intersection of agronomy and commercial performance.
He went on to spend 12 years with Indigrow, first as national sales manager for the U.K. and subsequently as European sales manager based in Sweden — a role that took him across the continent selling fertilizer and turf solutions to golf courses and sports grounds. His degree in sports turf management and background as a scratch golfer give him a rare ability to understand customer challenges from the inside out.
Poskitt authored the book “Turf Travels,” an account of a year spent travelling weekly across Europe as a sales manager — from Iceland to Bulgaria — and offers an honest look at life on the road in the turf industry. His second book, “Follow the Man on the Donkey,” chronicles a year-long overland journey with two young families across 24 countries and three continents, a testament to the same spirit of adventure and resilience that has defined his career.
“I’ve spent my career working with sports grounds and golf courses across Europe, Africa, and beyond, and I’ve seen firsthand how the right product can transform a facility,” said Poskitt. “CapillaryFlow’s approach to sustainable, durable turf management is genuinely different, and I’m looking forward to introducing it to new markets across EMEAA.”
Rodney Crow, CGCS, field technology and quality manager
Crow joins the firm as field technology and quality manager, bringing over 25 years of experience spanning golf course superintendency, operations leadership and technical sales. A certified golf course superintendent and graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in agronomy, Crow has built his career on delivering exceptional course conditions and executing complex renovation and irrigation projects across the United States.
Rodney Crow
His background moves fluidly between the agronomic and commercial sides of the industry. He has served as golf course superintendent at multiple clubs across Texas and South Carolina, as director of golf course operations at Mount Vintage Golf Club, and as operations manager at Gameday Sports Turf Management, before transitioning into technical sales as territory manager for The Harrington Corp., where he spent over five years building distributor and client relationships across the Southeast. He is also an active contributor to the profession through board service with the South Texas Golf Course Superintendent’s Association and long-standing involvement with the GCSAA.
“I’ve spent my career on both sides of the fence — managing courses and selling the products that make them perform,” said Crow. “That perspective matters when you’re talking to a superintendent about a major installation. I understand what they’re weighing up, and I believe in what CapillaryFlow’s technology can do for them. I’m looking forward to putting that experience to work in this new role.”
Sam Wolfe, sales and installation manager, Phoenix
Sam Wolfe
Wolfe has been named sales and installation manager, bringing extensive experience across all phases of golf course construction including site preparation, drainage and earthwork to irrigation, shaping and final grow-in. Prior to joining the company, he held a progression of roles at Pro Turf International, including project superintendent, project manager and director of business development, building a rare combination of field-level technical depth and commercial leadership. His ability to work alongside superintendents, architects and project teams to deliver high-quality playing surfaces on time and on budget makes him a strong addition to the company’s growing installations team.
“I’ve spent my career building and renovating courses and I know what it takes to get a project right from the ground up,” said Wolfe. “CapillaryFlow’s products speak directly to the challenges I’ve seen on job sites — drainage, durability, long-term performance. I’m excited to bring that perspective to clients and help them get the most out of every installation.
Kate Ginise, equestrian business manager, Wellington, Fla.
Ginise joins CapillaryFlow as Equestrian Business Manager, leading business operations, relationships, and installations for the company’s equestrian segment — a fitting role at the intersection of competitive horsemanship and advanced arena and footing technology.
She graduated magna cum laude from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion, Nutrition, and Exercise Science, along with minors in Bioethics and Global Public Health. Her scientific background informs her approach to equestrian performance, arena design and overall horse-and-rider well-being.
Kate Ginise
“My role at CapillaryFlow operates at the intersection of sport and science,” Ginise said. “As a rider, I understand the performance demands and feel of an arena; through my scientific background, I bring a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanics that drive those outcomes. As a horse owner and professional equestrian, nothing is more important than the health of our equine partners. I’m excited to bring CapillaryFlow’s smart, sustainable solutions into the equestrian industry.”
“Each of these appointments reflects something important about where CapillaryFlow is headed,” said Martin Sternberg, founder, CEO, and CGCS. “We are growing our reach across new geographies and new segments, and we are doing it by bringing in people who don’t just understand the industry technically — they live and breathe it. Kate’s competitive equestrian background, Richard’s decades across turf management and international sales, Sam’s end-to-end construction expertise, and Rodney’s deep agronomic and field technology experience are exactly the kind of alignment we look for. We are proud to welcome them all to the team.”
