Scott USA expands bike group
Ketchum-based Scott USA has announced the addition of Engin Yesilyemis to its U.S. bicycle group. Yesilyemis will join the bike marketing department in the Ketchum offices.
"Engin is full of energy and enthusiasm, which is just what this growing bike company needs to continue to thrive," said Adrian Montgomery, marketing director.
Yesilyemis was born in Izmir, Turkey. He began his bicycle adventures at a young age and in 1998 he had his first taste of competitive mountain biking. His interest in racing led him to become a race promoter in his hometown, organizing its first mountain bike racing series.
Yesilyemis will be responsible for media relations including price inquiries, Web content for the Scott USA bicycle Web site and event coordination.
