“Carmelo Anthony has had an impressive career on the court, but thanks to his entrepreneurial spirit and his eagerness to push the boundaries of innovation, he has also established quite the career off the court as well,” said Greg Cross, CEO of Soul Machines. “As Carmelo expands his business portfolio, we are fortunate to have a strong partnership with him and a shared vision and excitement for what Digital Twins can offer the world.
