Trango, the manufacturer and international distributor of technical climbing equipment, hired Brett Cardamone as brand manager.

Cardamone, a 20-year veteran of creative, brand development and marketing, was executive creative director at Five Ten for 14 years, from 2004 to 2018, and helped the brand navigate through its acquisition by Adidas.

“We’re very pleased to welcome Brett to the Trango team,” said Chris Klinke, president of Trango. “Brett brings an immense amount of experience and valuable insight to Trango as we continue to grow as one unified brand of products that embrace every aspect of climbing. His passion for innovation, creativity and authenticity will no doubt aid in bringing Trango to the next level.”
