Anyone here know "Kirby Jackson" over at Two Bills Drive? He is someone who works in sports marketing at the major league level. He also happens to know Pete Guelli. Here's his take.
"(Pete) oversaw sponsorships when Russ (Brandon) was in charge. He was probably the 2nd most powerful guy in the room. He left and took the (Chief Revenue Officer) job in Charlotte with the Bobcats. The NBA has ALWAYS had the best sports business minds. There’s a reason that so much innovation starts there. That’s where I last knew him.
From what I remember the Bills sponsorship numbers were like middle of the league. That is crazy impressive, considering the old stadium and crappy teams. He’s quiet, assertive and smart. I never worked directly with him but knew his reputation. His resume is strong."
