Akshay Anand Meets Tennis Star at Longines Event

(Newswire.net — June 2, 2017) Overland Park, Kansas — As a brand ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Longines, President and CEO of KARATS Akshay Anand has rubbed shoulders with many famous personalities. This was especially true at the recent Longines FEI World Cup Jumping Finals, held at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska in April 2017. Andy, as his customers and industry partners know him, had the opportunity to meet tennis great Steffi Graf at the event. Ms. Graf was ranked as the top tennis player in the world during her illustrious athletic career, which included wins at the United States Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open. In 1988, Graf became the first and only tennis player to win four Grand Slam singles titles and a gold medal at the Olympics in the same calendar year. “It was an honor to meet Steffi in Omaha,” says Andy. “Working with Longines as a brand ambassador has exposed me to many great events and people across the country.” To learn more about the event, visit http://akshayandyanand.me/tennis-steffi-graf-jumping-ludger-beerbaum-jewelry-watches/.
