(October 1, 2024) – Mizuno USA’s Running Division is excited to announce strategic changes to its sales management structure in response to impressive double-digit growth within the running specialty channel. This growth has exceeded expectations, and projections for the upcoming SS’25 and AW’25 seasons are even more promising.
To better accommodate this accelerated growth, Mizuno Running is restructuring its sales management team. The team will now include three regional managers: Casey Barrett will oversee the newly established North region, Greg Udzielak will continue his leadership in the West region, and Matt Baum will manage the new South region. Additionally, Matt will maintain his role as Account Executive for the crucial Fleet Feet Sports partnership.
Mizuno Running places a high priority on building authentic relationships with retailers. This new structure will enhance regional management interactions, enabling the team to identify innovative ways to better serve the specialty market.
These changes, effective 10/1/24, underscore Mizuno’s commitment to the running specialty channel and its dedication to fostering strong partnerships within the industry.
