Rickey Pierre II was named a senior manager of partnerships with Legends Global Sales, joining the Georgia Tech athletics partnership in October 2023.
A five-year run with the Miami Marlins kicked off his sports career, serving as an account executive focused on season tickets and suite rentals. During those years, he was also fortunate to assist with MLB’s marketing efforts for the World Baseball Classic (2013, 2017) and the All-Star Game (2017), which were all held in Miami during his tenure.
From there he headed out west to Los Angeles, taking over the sports partnerships division of Travelzoo, partnering with teams across both the professional and collegiate levels to create exclusive ticket offers for a membership-based platform. He then decided to test the world outside of sports with a couple roles and to no surprise, knew where his heart really was.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Pierre attended the University of Miami where he graduated with degrees in sports administration and business management. He is an avid baseball fan, although he is thrilled his hometown football team, the Chiefs, are finally relevant.
