Steve Sabo Headshot_edited.jpg

Sabo focuses on financial planning and specialty insurance (life and disability) for athletes and entertainers.  A perfect connection would be someone in transition: free agency, new contracts, just signed on for a tour, etc.  This allows us to underwrite through our connections at Llyod’s of London to create custom policies and the most competitive on the market. (pricing and exclusions on the policy are equally important!)

SHANNON.jpg

Shannon serves as the CEO & Managing Partner of Transition Sports and Entertainment. Transition Sports & Entertainment (TSE) empowers athletes and entertainers to position themselves and their brands as enduring businesses – to transcend their value on the field/court/pitch to create economies of meaning for the benefit of themselves, their families, and their communities.

 

Shannon is looking to work with motivated and enthusiastic athletes who are successful, but not in the Top 10%, and have interests beyond just their sport (even if they're not sure what that is yet). She is also looking to work with brands that are looking for digital agency work and in a space that has synergy with sports.
