His experience working with some of the biggest brands in the world from Old Spice to Popeyes to Adidas, and the style of his approach, is a perfect match for us, and what is needed to take Rivalry’s global presence to the next level.
“It should be seen as a signal for what 2022 is going to look like from us, which will make our last few years of operation seem like a light warm up.”
