Prior to joining Lumo Bodytech, Mark worked for Hoka One One, a division of Deckers Outdoor Corporation, as Vice President of Marketing. Under Mark's leadership, Hoka's sales increased 300 percent in the last year, making HOKA the fastest growing running shoe brand of all time. Mark has also held global leadership positions at Reebok, NIKE, the NBA and Wrigley.

In addition to his accomplished background in sports marketing, Mark is also passionate about running. He began competitively running in 1982 and was an All-American at Stanford in the 1500 meters in 1992. He also competed in the 1992 Olympic Trials in the 1500 meters.

"We're excited to expand the Lumo platform to help people be the best runners they can be," said Monisha Perkash, CEO and co-founder of Lumo Bodytech. "As both a competitive runner and experienced global sports marketer, Mark will be key in helping us to launch Lumo Run and access the multi-billion dollar running and wearables market."

Lumo Run, launched for pre-sale in October 2015, incorporates the personal attention of a running coach with the professional data of a lab. It measures running biomechanics like cadence, bounce and pelvic stability to guide your running form, improving your overall efficiency and performance. Lumo Run is currently available for pre-order online and is expected to ship spring 2016.

"Monisha and the team have created a product that allows runners and coaches to easily understand and interpret metrics that improve performance, and there is nothing in the market that provides as much useful information to the runner as Lumo Run," said Mastalir. "As someone who loves to run and compete, I'm proud to be a part of a team pushing the boundaries of the sport."
