“We are excited to have both Ron and Eric on board, especially as we enter such a crucial phase of our sales roadmap,” said TUT CEO, Rob Smith. “We have just launched the second-generation TUT Trainer and our DTC program, and their expertise will be invaluable as we continue to build our brand. This is perfect timing, as well, because over the next two weeks we’ll be announcing the TUT Global Ambassador team, who will be working closely with Ron and Eric.”
