technologies are transforming how fans experience live sports, both inside and
outside the stadium. A global survey conducted in April 2023 revealed that
nearly 80 percent of respondents reported an increase in their spending on
technology-enabled merchandise, such as virtual reality headsets and wearable
tech devices. Technology has become an integral part of our lives, and the
sports industry is no exception. Recent advancements, including video analysis,
wearable technology, and virtual reality training programs, have significantly
enhanced the sporting world.
These innovations have not only changed how athletes prepare
for competition but have also had a profound impact on businesses, creating
both new opportunities and challenges across various sectors.

For eight years, I served as the CTO for the LA Clippers
under Steve Ballmer, where I played a pivotal role in transforming the team's
technology infrastructure and driving innovation in sports tech. After that, I
spent three years as the CTO for United Talent Agency, the third-largest media
and entertainment agency in the world, where I led major technological
advancements and strategic initiatives. My expertise lies at the intersection
of technology and business. I have a unique ability to demystify complex
technical concepts and highlight their real-world value, regardless of the
audience's background. Whether it's developing strategic technology roadmaps,
leading innovative projects, or mentoring teams, my focus is always on driving
success through empathy and innovation.
