Drummond To Lead HEAD USA Alpine Racing

On Monday (May 10), HEAD USA announced that it had named Ben Drummond as the company’s Racing and Promotions Manager. In his new position Drummond will manage the newly founded Head USA race department, as well as Head’s freeride team and promotional efforts.

The Norwalk, Conn. based company made headlines recently by signing American tech specialist and Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety to a contract, moving him from longtime ski provider Rossignol. U.S. starts Lindsey Vonn and Bode Miller are also part of the HEAD team as well as recent addition Chelsea Marshall. Drummond has already begun working with U.S. Ski Team athletes and is currently testing skis with Megan McJames and Kiley Staples in Mammoth.

“After speaking with numerous highly-qualified candidates, Ben stood out as the ideal person to lead our new race department here in the United States,” said Jon Rucker, Director of Sales and Marketing for Head USA.  “With the addition of Ben to our management team, and the recent growth of our World Cup Rebels racing team, Head racing is poised to enjoy tremendous growth.”

Drummond is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire where he was an Academic All-American in Alpine Ski Racing. In recent years, he has worked as Director of U.S. Competition and Promotions for Tecnica/Blizzard, where he was credited for the growth of their programs.
