About Garrett Heath

As the Head of Sports Marketing at Brooks Running, I lead a team of passionate and creative professionals who are dedicated to promoting the brand, athlete storytelling, and inspiring runners of all levels. Leveraging my academic work from Stanford University and experience in entrepreneurship and strategy, I work closely with our Marketing teams to develop and execute innovative campaigns that connect with our target audience and drive new customer growth.My uncommon background and experience as a former professional track and field athlete for Saucony and the Brooks Beasts Track Club has given me a deep understanding of the sports industry and the needs and aspirations of our customers. For over 10 years, I balanced my athletic career with my entrepreneurial pursuits, raising funds, growing teams, and optimizing operations for various startups. I am motivated by the challenge of combining my passion for sports and business with my strategic and analytical mindset.
