introduction
I am Brian Melekian.

professional profile

As an executive in the business of sports, I thrive on the adrenaline of competition, complexity and change. I bring the expertise to craft strategy and the experience to implement the tactics to make it a reality.

guiding principles

Acceptance See reality as it is, not as I'd like it to be.
Authenticity Align the things I think, the things I say, and things I do.
Excellence Strive to be the best, knowing excellence will do.
Humility Lead by example. Never forget to pick up the trash on the ground.
Integrity Act as though someone is looking even when they are not.
