Evanston, Illinois Dec 22, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Mettle Sports is excited to welcome Mark Scrimenti to our leadership team in the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer. Mark will lead the company’s day-to-day business operations, help develop and execute strategy for marketing and sales growth, and drive partnerships with developers, community organizations, and municipalities seeking to build creative, adaptive, and sustainable public spaces focused on unstructured play.
Mark is an entrepreneurial executive with over 20 years’ experience in eCommerce and SaaS product development, digital marketing, and customer experience. As VP of Business Operations and Customer Experience at Mbira Technologies, an online retailer of music gear, he scaled operations and grew sales from $40 million to $140 million in eight years, while consistently delivering the industry’s highest customer satisfaction ratings. Other roles Mark has served include Chief Operating Officer/Chief Product Officer at RESIDE Admissions, a SaaS startup in the healthcare space, and COO/CPO at Sirch, an innovative software startup building the next generation of search engine products.
“This new role at Mettle Sports combines a number of longtime passions for me,” said Mr. Scrimenti. “I’m really excited to collaborate with developers and community advocates to transform neglected spaces into vital public amenities. I’m a big believer in the power of public-private partnerships to do good by aligning resources with our common interests and ideals. I also think sports and free play is a great natural way to build community, bring joy, and foster growth that transfers energy beyond the playing fields.
“I love Mettle Sports' vision for strengthening underserved communities and see great possibility in the example set by their partnership with Sterling Bay and the surrounding community on Fleet Fields in Chicago. I look forward to building on that model for future growth.”
