David JEWELL

President 

At 17, during a cold morning run with his brother, Dave Jewell was first inspired to pursue a career in the world of running shoes. While his brother dreamt of working for Nike, Dave, sporting New Balance shoes at the time, declared he wanted to work for them. What began as a casual ambition grew into a lifelong career that exceeded even his early expectations.

​

For over a decade, Dave held what many would consider a dream job as a footwear buyer at Road Runner Sports, where he developed a deep understanding of running shoes. His expertise then expanded on a global scale during his time working for adidas. As he considered the next step in his career, New Balance reached out, impressed by his detailed reports on running shoes from the Ironman World Championships. They invited him to bring that same insight to seven major races, including the Boston and New York City Marathons.

 

That was over ten years ago, and Dave has been a key figure in the running shoe industry ever since.
