Over the years he’s cultivated a worldwide network that bridges sports, travel and entertainment, often striking innovative commercial partnerships that bring fans closer to the action.

“I am honoured to join CSTS at an exciting stage of its growth journey,” Pulido said. “Sport has a unique ability to bring people together across cultures and communities.
