About
Jim Brown
Managing Principal
The Practice is built on a single premise: the only way to protect a sport is to understand the capital, and the only way to protect a deal is to understand the sport. The Managing Principal has built risk programs on both sides of that table, at the NCAA National Office and at a global sports technology company, and translates the operational realities of the game into the risk thresholds of the market.
