“Adriene is a unicorn in the sports industry. I doubt there's anyone else who has experience in content creation, business development, merchandise, marketing, ticket sales, ETC. at major brands, media companies, and agencies. PLUS she's co-founded two companies on top of all that experience. One of Adriene's greatest strengths besides the drive to learn is her ability to meaningfully connect with people. In a space that's highly transactional, Adriene genuinely cares about building a more inclusive sports community which is why I know she will continue to succeed year after year.”
