Mad Engine announced that it has appointed three new members to its C-Suite. The new members are Angelina Yagudayev as Chief Merchandising Officer (CMO), Christine Bettles as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Gina Cappi as Chief Creative Officer (CCO). With these newly filled positions on its leadership team, Mad Engine is well-positioned to continue building its legacy as the leading global licensed apparel and accessory company.
Angelina Yagudayev
Angelina Yagudayev has been promoted to CMO, after serving as Executive Vice President of Mad Engine’s Canada Division. Yagudayev began her career at Mad Engine over a decade ago when she was hired to expand Mad Engine’s sales presence in the Canadian market. She quickly became the leader of the entire Canada Division overseeing sales, creative, production and operations. Since joining the Mad Engine team, Yagudayev has led Mad Engine Canada to become one of the biggest distributors of licensed goods in the Canadian market. Serving as CMO, she will manage and oversee Mad Engine’s entire Sales Division for the US, Canada and all additional markets.
Christine Bettles
Christine Bettles has been appointed as Mad Engine’s CFO. Bettles began her career with PwC, a ‘Big Four’ accounting firm, before moving into the world of apparel. She quickly became a CFO for several apparel companies, including one of Mad Engine’s competitors.
Gina Cappi
Gina Cappi will now serve as Mad Engine’s CCO. Formerly Mad Engine’s Senior Vice President of the Kids Division, Cappi has been an incredible addition to the Mad Engine team since she joined more than ten years ago. Cappi started Mad Engine’s Girls Division at a time when Mad Engine had not yet targeted that category. Cappi built the Girls Division by obtaining excellent content and marrying it with Mad Engine’s industry-leading design and sales, growing it to one of Mad Engine’s strongest categories, proving her talent and undeniable expertise.
