Michael Dhulst: Creating the 'T20 of Triathlon' with supertri's CEO


Listen Later

Today’s Episode, I’m joined my Michael Dhulst.

Michael is the Co-Founder and CEO of supertri, formerly known as Super League Triathlon. 

Since its bold emergence in 2017, this is a league which as carved out a well-earned reputation for disruption - built from the outset to shake up the swim-bike-run events space. 

Now, under its new supertri brand they aim to further embrace their ‘challenger’ status and build on the foundations they have put in place as the short-form specialists, aspiring to be to triathlon what Twenty20 is to cricket. And in order to get there, Dhulst and his co-founders, Leonid Boguslavsky and four-time triathlon world champion Chris McCormack, are putting their own capital, passion, and expertise on the line.
