Episode 6: J.W. Cannon, Senior Project Lead - Sponsorships and Events, UPS & Co-Founder, #sbchat

Front Office Exchange

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Front Office Exchange podcast featuring J.W. Cannon, Senior Project Lead for Sponsorship and Events for UPS in Atlanta, and cofounder of Twitter's #sbchat. I was introduced to J.W. by a mutual friend in the industry, but I was familiar with him before that, through his very popular #sbchat conversation on Twitter. Every Sunday night at 9:30 PM eastern, he and co-founder Lou Imbriano lead an engaging back and forth with followers on the hottest topics in sports business. It's a must for anyone in the industry. J.W. has led a diverse career between events, agencies and now one of the top companies in the world, UPS. He offered perspective on each of those corners of the sports business industry, while also giving advice on everything from how to pitch him, to how to get his attention if you're looking for a job right out of school. J.W. was a blast to talk to. He is a super-engaging and down-to-earth executive who genuinely loves to give back to the sports business community. I think you'll really enjoy this episode. Big thanks both to J.W. and to you for listening.
