Derek Bouchard Hall went from pro cyclist to CEO of POC, with stops at Wiggle, USA Cycling, and Assos along the way. He's got some really interesting perspectives on what makes premium brands work in cycling—the importance of staying consistent, letting your design team do their thing, and not trying to be everything to everyone. It's a great conversation about building brands that cyclists actually connect with and what it takes to keep them authentic as they grow.
