Powerful Academic Partnerships Through Sports With Hany Syed Of Athleta-Ed

July 27, 2020


Sports has a lot more to offer to higher education than we give it credit for. That is what Athleta-Ed proves as it leverages its partnerships with top-ranked business schools and sports leaders and athletes to create business courses to address the demand for leaders and prime movers in the global sports industry. In this episode, Warren Whitlock chats with its Founder and CEO, Hany Syed. Starting as a project within a broader venture capital educational platform, Athleta-Ed quickly evolved its own independent existence. Listen and learn about how the platform is coping with the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and why the ground is fertile for it to continue to excel in what it does in the future.
