JohnWallStreet Launches Advisory Business with Ocean’s Eleven Like Expert Crew

JohnWallStreet Launches Advisory Business with Ocean’s Eleven Like Expert Crew

In the movie Ocean’s Eleven, Danny Ocean (played by George Clooney) and Rusty Ryan (played by Brad Pitt) assemble a crew where each of the 11 men brings a very specific skill or role to the heist. JohnWallStreet has built its own elite unit.

Except, our group is not trying to rip off Las Vegas casinos. We’ve organized this collective of widely respected industry leaders under the JohnWallStreet Advisory banner to help team/league owners and their C-suites, along with collegiate athletic directors and CROs, navigate a rapidly changing landscape.

JohnWallStreet readers have longed looked to the publication for thoughtful analysis and actionable insights. We’re now going to help decision makers solve existing and future state initiatives.

Regular communication with a deep network of leaders across sports and media (and in adjacent industries) helps us to connect dots, spot trends early, and deliver illuminating content to the industry’s most influential people. It’s also what enabled us to build an advisory group capable of truly helping those at the top of sports’ pyramid.

Simply put, we know who the true experts are and who organizations should trust, have direct access to them, and they’re eager to align with our brand knowing JohnWallStreet can effectively drive deal-flow and shape narrative. These are peers who truly understand your business and investors.

So, who is a part of this elite advisory crew and what challenges are they focused on solving? 

We’re launching with five advisors. Six more will be announced in the weeks ahead.

The initial group includes: 

Nick Kelly – Former Verizon VP, Sponsorships; Former Carolina Panthers CEO; Former Anheuser-Busch VP of Partnerships, Beer Culture and Community; Encore Sports & Entertainment Chief Executive Officer

Focus: Properly packaging and pricing sponsorship assets

Shripal Shah- Former Washington Commanders SVP, Marketing & Chief Strategy Officer; Former Shop Your Way Chief Digital Officer; Next League Chief Digital Officer

Focus: Using Gen-AI to drive incremental revenues

Mike Tannenbaum - Former New York Jets General Manager; Former Miami Dolphins EVP, Football Operations; 33^rd Team Founder 

Focus: Professionalizing collegiate program/athletic department front offices

John Brody – Former Learfield CRO; Former WWE EVP, Global Head of Sales and Partnerships and Head of International; Former NFL SVP, Sponsorship and Media Sales; Former Wasserman Media Group President, Global Partnership and Business Development

Pat Crakes- Former Fox Sports SVP Programming, Research & Content Strategy. 

Focus: Media rights negotiation, distribution, acquisition and programming strategy

Structure and experience aside, JohnWallStreet Advisory isn’t your typical consultancy. Our access to capital and operator network enables us to provide execution support too. 

And we’ll do the work without championing our own success (unless you want us to).
