Additionally, Specialized supports professional female athletes across all disciplines of cycling, including Boels-Dolmans, the 2016 Team Time Trial World Champions.
Mike Sinyard, Specialized CEO and founder, signed the Camber Outdoors CEO Pledge to further the companies’ commitment for women’s as a strategic business imperative. The company plans on not only growing the women’s business but also the number of leadership positions for female employees.
