On this episode, we have Jeff Stern on to discuss his career and Suunto. At the end of last year, Jeff stepped into the role as Head of Sports Marketing at Suunto, after years of being a great athlete himself. We chat about his achievements as a bike racer, marathoner, and ultra runner, how this has shaped him, how he got to where he is, and how he is now working to get Suunto to new heights. Suunto is 90 years old this year, and has a history of making quality products. With signings like Clayton Young, Zouhair Talbi, Emma Grace Hurley, and Charles Hicks, Suunto is really making a move into the world of road running. So what makes the watches and products of Suunto stand out? And what model is the right one for you?
