Front Office Exchange

Aaaannnnd we're back! Welcome to Episode 21 of the Front Office Exchange podcast, featuring Russ Scibetti, Vice President of Product Strategy for KORE Software. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season first and foremost, and that you're as excited as I am about getting 2017 started on the right foot. With that in mind, I think we've got the perfect podcast to kick things off in a big way. Russ is very well known in sports business circles, not only through his work with the New York Jets and KORE, but also through his 8+ years running TheBusinessofSports.com. He's very active on Twitter and in general is considered a #sportsbiz thought leader. Russ's career is fascinating; after an early career outside of sports, he attended Arizona State's dual MBA and Sports Business Degree program, From there, as he coined it, he, "embraced his skill set," and married sports with his strengths in CRM and database marketing. He rose quickly through progressive roles, much of which he attributed to "saying yes" to opportunities and leveraging his growing network. As it relates to the latter, he stressed, "it's not just who you know; it's who you know who knows what you know." Big thanks both to Russ and to you for listening.
