Bio: On the court I have achieved great success with the Golden State Warriors, winning an NBA championship in 2015. Off the court I am part of a new wave of athletes who are actively participating in investing in businesses and generating their own wealth. In my case, I have been involved with numerous entrepreneurial ventures in technology and e-commerce. (Abbreviated)
Alma Mater: University of Arizona
Nice humble brag there on the bio Andre. Perhaps one of the quietest stars the NBA has ever seen. People forget that Igoudala was an all-star and gold medal winner in 2012. Since then, he has become a cornerstone of a Golden State Warriors team that has been the NBA’s best since 2015, winning finals MVP during that year.
Off the court, Andre, has many interests and his LinkedIn page is a nice reflection of that. He currently holds the position of VP of the NBA Players Association as well as doing some menswear designing and directing for Nike and Twice. Based on his off the court body of work, don’t anticipate Igoudala’s name become a punching bag like Antoine Walker’s.
My “Professional” opinion: Great profile layout, clear & professional picture, solid bio and updated job start and end dates. He’s an impressive potential candidate and I hope he freakin’ calls me back.
