Nino Vanin

I'm a sports business executive with more than 20 years of experience in corporate partnerships, sponsorship sales, business development, and sports marketing. Throughout my career, I've worked with leading organizations across collegiate athletics and sports entertainment, helping build strategic partnerships that create value for brands, teams, universities, and communities.

My professional experience includes leadership roles with JMI Sports, Learfield, Spectra, Front Row Marketing Services, Saint Joseph's University Athletics, the University of Connecticut, and the Naval Academy Athletic Association. I specialize in sponsorship strategy, relationship management, revenue growth, and partnership development.

A former collegiate basketball player at Johns Hopkins University, I believe successful partnerships are built on trust, preparation, and collaboration. I'm passionate about leadership, mentorship, innovation, and the evolving sports business landscape. Whether working with brands, athletic programs, or community organizations, my focus has always been on creating meaningful relationships and delivering long-term value.
