Marko Kärkkäinen and Boris Sekulskii appointed to the WBSC Europe Marketing Department

Marko Kärkkäinen (FIN) and Boris Sekulskii (BUL) are the newly appointed members of the WBSC Europe Marketing Department. The Department, established in 2022, is led by Jukka Ropponen (FIN).

The WBSC Europe Executive Board approved the nomination of two new members for the Marketing Department: Marko Kärkkäinen (FIN) and Boris Sekulskii (BUL).

Kärkkäinen and Sekulskii will put their decennial experience in marketing at WBSC Europe service. Both members will work together with the Head of the WBSC Europe Marketing Department Jukka Ropponen, and the Marketing Director Elda Ghilardi. 

Ropponen commented: "the Marketing Department's main task is to support the main goals of WBSC Europe: grow our sports in Europe and raise the level of play. The Department will contribute to these goals via programs that generate funds to be used for development in Europe."

"A good example of this process is our TV distribution agreement with the USA-based company Maybacks Global Entertainment," said Ropponen. In fact, WBSC Europe signed an extensive TV distribution agreement for its events with Maybacks Global Entertainment (USA) last year.
