Since we launched The Fitness Business Podcast, I have personally stalked the CrossFit CEOs and head office to get someone on the show. And while my background is a big box club owner, there is so much I love about CrossFit as a brand and exercise modality.
Don Faul, an exemplary leader with a distinguished U.S Marine Corps background and extensive CrossFit experience, was named the CEO of CrossFit in August 2022. He's certainly no stranger to success - he'd been at countless technology companies like Pinterest and Google in high-level roles before joining us. His impressive résumé included being Facebook's VP of Global Online Operations, as well as Manager for Sales & Operations at Google.
