Former Adidas, Taylormade and Xponential Fitness executive John Kawaja has joined DataSnap, an embedded analytics and decision intelligence company, as president. In this new role, Kawaja is expected to lead DataSnap’s corporate strategy, commercial growth and expanding portfolio of predictive intelligence platforms while directing the U.S. market expansion of enterprise AI company RevenueSignals. He served as a Board advisor for RevenueSignals since January 2024.
Kawaja is said to bring more than two decades of executive leadership experience building prominent consumer brands, scaling commercial organizations and leading growth across complex, high-performance businesses. He recently served as president of North America for Xponential Fitness and EVP at Honma Golf after short stints and advisory roles at DP Europe Tour, Performance54 and G/Fore. Most in the active lifestyle market remember John from his 11-year role as president and other senior roles at TaylorMade Adidas Golf Company and 16 years at Adidas North America as head of marketing and VP of Canada.
Kawaja is also a Canadian curler. He is a two-time Brier and World Champion and is currently a Board member of The Curling Group.
“Organizations have access to more data than ever, but many still struggle to translate that information into confident, timely decisions,” said Kawaja. “DataSnap is building an ecosystem that closes that gap by transforming complex behavioral and operational data into intelligence that leaders can act on. I am excited to help scale the company, strengthen its commercial infrastructure and bring these capabilities to more organizations across the United States.”
Under Kawaja’s leadership, DataSnap is expected to focus on building a repeatable commercial framework across its portfolio, expanding enterprise partnerships and establishing the company as a leading provider of embedded analytics and predictive decision intelligence.
