FEATURED PERSPECTIVES
BIG THINKING. CLEAR DIRECTION. MEASURABLE ACTION.
“Brian brought tremendous value to the Durham Bulls by challenging us with a simple idea: “What got us here won’t get us there.” He couldn’t have been more right, particularly given some of the challenges we are facing today. It’s one thing to identify what needs to change; it’s another to provide specific recommendations and a clear path forward that can drive measurable results.”
“Because of Brian’s work, we now have greater clarity around where we need more focus, alignment and accountability across our organization. He has a unique ability to connect organizational structure with strategy, data and execution to build a more effective demand-generation engine.”

Vice President I CBC Sports

CREATIVITY + INNOVATION
“I first met Brian Gainor during my time at FELD Entertainment, and from day one, he walked into every room with a smile and a whirlwind of creativity, always ready to cultivate the next great partnership idea. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate in different capacities, from esports to the launch of TGL, and one thing about Brian has never changed: you’ll rarely, if ever, hear the word “no” from him. He sees possibilities where others see roadblocks and brings an infectious energy to turning ideas into something bigger. Brian is truly one of my favorite humans to collaborate with when it comes to partnership ideation—and an even better person to call a friend.”
