In this episode, we chat with Jason Wells, Managing Director at CHARLY USA. If you are anywhere other than Mexico, you may not know the brand yet, but with the tagline LEAVE OUR MARK, the athletic apparel company is on a mission to do just that... here in the US. Charly is a household name in Mexico, having been in the footwear and apparel game for over 60 years and, more recently, sponsoring more than half of the Liga MX soccer teams.  

 Now, their eye is on the US market, and they’re making their mark fast. With Wells at the helm, they’ve already struck a multi-year deal with the San Diego Loyal soccer team, their first in American Soccer, significantly expanded their national footprint through notable retail partners, and made great strides in increasing their notoriety beyond the Hispanic market.  

 Tune in to hear about his career trajectory as well as learn what other winning tactics are to the playbook he’s building on the fly — inspired by his many years in footwear and apparel, including 13 years at ASICS, knowing what to use and what to throw out the door when approaching this unique challenge of bringing this Mexican brand to the US.
