With 23 years of experience in the sports and media industry, Ciesla has a proven track record of leadership, business- and corporate development. Last eight years Ciesla was Managing Director of the WRC Promoter. Prior to that, he served as Managing Director of The Sportsman Media Group and held different key roles at Sportfive.
