Emma Skalka was entrusted with the day-to-day operations of Victor Stanley by her father-in-law and uncle-in-law, a pivotal opportunity that she took on with great pride and commitment. Managing a company with over 60 years of history, she navigated the challenges that followed, including the buyout of the two founders and the departure of a key executive. With the strong support of PlayCore’s new ownership and a knowledgeable, dedicated team, she successfully guided the company towards another record-breaking year.

Emma's approach focusses not only on managing the operational challenges but also on providing stability and continuity, and empowerment of her team. By actively supporting the professional growth of her team members the company has seen further progress in innovation and collaboration, which has driven significant improvements in product development, organizational transparency and employee engagement, and increased customer orientation.

Under Emma’s guidance, Victor Stanley has expanded its partnerships, which has further strengthened the company’s capabilities and offerings. Her ability to manage change, maintain focus on long-term goals, and support her team has been critical in ensuring the company remains competitive and on a trajectory of growth.

Emma continues to be inspired by the Victor Stanley and PlayCore team, as they adapt and thrive in the evolving business landscape. Her pride in Victor Stanley, its rich legacy, and for her team are boundless.
