My Background

I’ve lived in seven countries and played professional football across three continents, and experienced firsthand how sports, business, and culture intersect on a global scale. Alongside my career on the pitch, I earned a bachelor’s in cultural anthropology and a master’s in business from Duke University. This blend of elite sports experience, strategic insight, and media expertise has provided me with the opportunity to work with brands, athletes, start-ups and organisations across the world of sports.
