(NASDAQ:NOMA) ("Nomadar" or the "Company"), a global platform operating at the intersection of sports, tourism, technology, and infrastructure, today announced the appointment of José Manuel Calderón to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Calderón brings a differentiated combination of elite global sports experience, cross-border business leadership, and capital markets familiarity, strengthening the Company's governance as it advances a long-term strategy focused on building a scalable, multi-asset platform across Europe and international markets.
