He is perfectly positioned to drive Magic’s innovative Alchemy approach in the US and beyond, from Magic’s LA base.

Jordan Taylor-Bartels, CEO at Magic, said the success of Magic’s rapid expansion into global markets depends on having exceptional talent on the ground and he was confident he had found that talent in both Choutou and Renteria.
