Sabrine Elfarissi

Data Architecture and Project Manager

National Football League

I am an LA native who has a deep passion for football, analytics, and how we can bring the game closer to fans. Through my academic experiences at UCLA and USC, I fell in love with data and its ability to tell powerful stories. I began my career in football with the Los Angeles Rams where I learned how analytics can drive meaningful impact in marketing and fan loyalty. Today at the National Football League, I design data architecture frameworks that enable measurement and optimization of our digital platforms.

Jo Zulaica

Founder

JoLeader

As a Leadership Development Expert, I was filmed by CNN for my 'powerful public speaking' training, which - sadly - never made it to prime time. I've trained more than 10,000 people in Leadership positions to delegate, give better feedback, resolve conflict, speak with confidence, and more...
