PodcastsHello and welcome to Leaders and how they lead, the podcast that brings all manner of sporting CEOs into the Leaders studio to ask them how they manage – and to nudge and nurdle them into thinking deeper about what they do on a day-to-day basis.
This week’s guest is Mike Tomon, Co-President and COO at premium experiences and sports sales hothouse Legends, which was founded in 2008 through a ground-breaking partnership between the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. Tomon joined the company in 2014, having previously played a key commercial role in AEG’s Global Partnerships team.
Tomon leads global operations for Legends, including domestic and international revenue generation and growth across the company’s 360-degree service solution platform, which spans planning, sales, partnerships, merchandise, hospitality, and technology solutions for some of the biggest brands in sports and entertainment.
Beginning at 28:03, the episode also includes insights on leadership from EVP and CMO of Atlanta Hawks, Melissa Proctor.
