Going Off The Grid: Four Sports Industry Execs Weigh In On Biz & Pop Culture

A weekly survey of sports execs and personalities, offering their positions on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, we take the pulse of four execs from four corners of the sports industry:

  • Hornets Exec VP and Chief Sales & Marketing Manager Pete Guelli
    – Tells colleagues his interest is strictly marketing related
  • ‎MLS VP/Special Events Jen Maurillo
    – How does she stay in the know? "Thank goodness for The Skimm"
  • Sportvision CEO Hank Adams
    – Has never watched TMZ, consumes more books than movies
  • Steiner Sports Marketing VP/Team Partnerships Liz Martin
    – Doesn’t keep up with the Kardashians, but she's up to speed if it's news relevant
