Charlie Schumacher has been appointed director of corporate communications at Marathon Digital, the company announced last Wednesday. Schumacher will report to MARA’s CEO and be responsible for MARA’s investor relations, public relations, and marketing efforts.
What caused MARA to appoint Schumacher?
In light of the increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin, MARA’s expanding operations, and the goal of establishing Marathon as one of the most prominent Bitcoin miners in North America, Marathon believes it is the right time to hire an in-house corporate communications director to elevate the organization. In September 2020, Schumacher began working for Marathon Digital (MARA) and has proved to be a valuable asset. The new and expanded position he holds will enable MARA to benefit from his expertise.
