[April 28, 2025 – Peachtree Corners, GA] – Mizuno USA is proud to announce key additions and internal promotions across its Running division, reinforcing the brand’s long-standing dedication to the specialty retail community.
Will Cutler has been promoted from Territory Manager to Associate Marketing Manager, effective May 1. During his time in the field, Will consistently exceeded expectations—growing his territory, cultivating strong retail partnerships with Pacers Running and PR Run & Ride, and demonstrating a deep understanding of the specialty landscape. In his new role, Will will bring that insight and energy to the brand side, supporting key initiatives and continuing to champion the needs of the specialty channel through a marketing lens.
Joining the Mizuno team as Territory Manager based in Chicago is Nico Betancourt. Nico brings years of specialty running experience and leadership to the role. Most recently, he served as Store Manager at Front Running Sports in Florida, and prior to that, as Regional Manager for Fleet Feet Sports Orlando. Nico’s expertise, professionalism, and connection to the running community position him as a strong advocate for retailers in the Midwest.
Additionally, Hope Nixon has joined Mizuno as a Running Brand Specialist based in Cincinnati. A standout from Columbus Running Company, Hope quickly established herself as one of the top-performing sales associates on staff. Her deep product knowledge and natural connection with the running community make her an ideal fit to support our brand presence at events and in stores.
These new additions reflect Mizuno’s continued focus on supporting the specialty channel with passionate, experienced team members who understand the unique needs of the running community—both on and off the sales floor.
