Cosmina's Mantra : Crush Monday

She has been working in Sports Media and Sponsorship for over ten years and in three different major US cities; NY, Chicago and Boston. She has sold every MLB, NBA, NHL Regional Sports Network in the US and a majority of the major colligate networks.
Cosmina started her career at Home Team Sports (HTS), now Playfly, in New York. She was able to drive revenue through multiplatform sports partnerships in the sports marketing space. Soon after she was transferred to Chicago to work on several marquee accounts. Cosmina was able to grow these accounts and orchestrate the largest multiyear deal for HTS prior to heading to New England Sports Network (NESN). At NESN Cosmina held the Local Sales Manager and National Sales Manager roles. She touched every account both locally and nationally and was able to help bring the sales team to new heights. Cosmina currently is at NESN as the Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. She is enthusiastic to help navigate the everchanging media landscape. She is part of the executive management team and plays an active role in determining strategy and vision for NESN.

Passion For Marketing
I have had the fortune to work with Cosmina for quite a few years while she was with the New England Sports Network. During that time, I found that she exuded three very important qualities that quite frankly set her above others. First, her passion for her brand and her business was evident day in and day out. She always wanted to make her product be the best it could be. Secondly, her energy to help build my brands was always appreciated. Whether it was an existing brand that we had been advertising for years or helping to create unique programming for a new brand launch, Cosmina was consistently innovative in her thinking. And lastly, Cosmina is trustworthy. Her level of service to my business never swayed. It is with great pleasure that I would highly recommend Cosmina and therein hope our paths cross again in the future.
