Men’s FIFA’22 World Cup “impossible is nothing”
Brought in during the later stages of the Men's FIFA 2022 campaign for adidas to support its completion with the newly formed US production team. I directed the team, managed budgets, and coordinated all production efforts to bring the campaign back on track.
