Building a career in sports, media & entertainment shouldn’t feel like you’re on the outside looking in – watching opportunities flow through hidden networks while wondering how to make meaningful connections.

As three women with 25+ years of combined industry experience, we lived these frustrations. We saw how the most valuable knowledge and opportunities were shared behind closed doors. So we created a better way: Arena.
