  • Michael Galeski, an “expert in sports marketing and event management,” served as chief operating officer at Ikonik Golf and was a senior VP of Sports Marketing at Callaway Golf, where he managed a $50 million global budget and secured over 300 endorsement deals. His experience includes directing global sports marketing at UL and organizing major golf events, including the Encompass Championship.
  • Paul Spengler, executive vice president at Pebble Beach Company, has been pivotal in hosting multiple U.S. Open Championships and shaping Pebble Beach as a worldwide golf destination. His golf operations and event management expertise strengthens OnCore’s strategic direction.
