Bikes are my home, and I’m pumped to have the opportunity to tell amazing stories for Nukeproof—a brand with heritage and product focus that I admire,” said Kemp.

Pace joins SSU from YT Industries, where for two years he served as that brand’s US graphic designer. In addition to extensive work in the bike industry, Pace has over 7 years of design experience with a creative skillset that ranges across traditional and digital media, which is especially important for SSU’s catalog of B2B, DTC, and hybrid brands. “I’m thrilled to work in conjunction with the strong team assembled at SSU, especially as it allows me to spread my creative talents across an amazingly diverse portfolio of emerging and legacy brands,” said Roghaar.

“We’re incredibly lucky to have Lacy and Pace join the US SSU team. Lacy’s reputation and successful portfolio speak for themselves, and her personal passion for the sport brings the kind of authenticity to this role that is so critical for Nukeproof. And, with his international experience, Pace understands the sensitive but essential balancing act required for global brand consistency while maintaining localized authenticity,” said Matt Heitmann, CMO for SIGNA Sports United’s North American bike division.
