Sports & Entertainment Executive, Advisor, and Investor | SBJ 40 under 40 Class of 2020

I am thrilled to announce that I am joining the amazing team at Elevate Sports Ventures as its first ever Chief Strategy Officer, leading our corporate strategy as well as our industry-leading Insights division. This is a rocket ship of an agency, that has accomplished unreal growth in a short time, yet we all know and believe that the best is yet to come.  I’m thrilled to be able to partner with and work alongside of management teams from some of the most innovative sports and entertainment properties in the world, spanning nearly every league (women's and men's), every type of field, court, ice and racetrack; to the best college brands and stadium architects to data and analytics companies in the space that are all bringing more fans closer to the game through better experiences, better content, and better partnerships. And I am even more fortunate that I get to do so by working every day with some of the best and brightest colleagues in the industry. Thank you to Al Guido, to Chip Bowers, to our incredible and supportive board, and especially to all of the stellar (and growing number of) humans at Elevate who work tirelessly on behalf of our clients to lead the industry forward. I am humbled to be part of the team. Let's do this!

They're luck to have you! Can't wait to hear about all your new projects! 🚀
