Irish esports organization WYLDE announced that global sports star and Olympic medalist Usain Bolt has joined as a Co-Owner.
Bolt, as part of the organization, will support the organization’s mission to identify, empower and support talent while embracing a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Additionally, as a co-owner and active member of the leadership team, Bolt will be involved in a range of activities focused on elevating the WYLDE brand.
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, WYLDE was founded two years ago by Steve Daly and David Cronin. In the past, Daly was an investment banker at JP Morgan. David Cronin was President and CEO of American Ireland Funds and a founding shareholder of Irish technology company QUAMAS.
