The luxury watch start-up Chronext has a well-known new member on its Board of Directors: Gary Briggs was CMO at Facebook for five years and now sits on various boards.
The names of Gary Briggs' employers sound like a list of the world's largest corporations: he was CMO at Facebook for five years and previously held senior marketing positions at Google, Ebay and Paypal. Now the start-up Chronext has been able to recruit him for its Board of Directors: "I was impressed by CHRONEXT's ambitions," says Briggs about his new role. "I look forward to supporting CHRONEXT in market expansions, new partnerships and mergers that will further drive the company's growth." Briggs is currently a board member at Petco, Afterpay and Etsy.
