I was the first hire in the brand's expansion to U.S. market and managed everything under the U.S. umbrella, including hiring and managing four full-time staff members, commissioning freelancers and establishing editorial plans and guidelines. I managed a staff which was a mix of in-office and remote workers, while reporting to our global hub in London. Our U.S. staff, under my leadership, set a distinct tone as a progressive, independent soccer site covering all corners of the game in the U.S., from the men's and women's national teams, to MLS, NWSL, the lower divisions and youth soccer.
