Sports Team Branding and Marketing with Lucas Caneda
Lucas Caneda is Global Team Lead at UNIQORN Incubator and a professional rugby player for Sarlat Rugby Team. Lucas grew up as a die-hard rugby fan and started playing at the tender age of 5. Despite suffering what many thought would be a career-ending knee injury, he moved to France and built a career as a professional rugby player.
After a few years in France, Lucas joined the Sarlat Rugby Team where he first met Dom Einhorn, the Founder, and CEO of the UNIQORN incubator-accelerator. Lucas immediately joined the incubator's rugby program and now works as Global Team Lead for the incubator, and two of its startups, FORMATION.GG and CXSports.
A student of engineering, management, economics, and self-taught in nutrition and fitness, Lucas has always had a very keen interest in business, entrepreneurship, and personal development.
