ELENA DELLE DONNE

Elena Delle Donne is one of the most dynamic professional basketball players in
the history of women’s basketball. On the court, she shines with her confidence
and complete game. Off the court, Elena is a family woman, dedicated wife,
philanthropist, and outdoor lover.

Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, Elena has always held a strong sense of
herself and possessed a spirited love for her family. Growing up, she played a
variety of sports but ultimately found a love for basketball. She chose to play
at the University of Delaware to stay close to home. In her freshman season at
Delaware, she was named the Colonial Athletic Associations’ Player of the Year
and Rookie of the Year.

Her brilliance continued as Elena was drafted 2nd overall by the Chicago Sky in
the 2013 WNBA Draft. After an explosive first season, she was crowned the 2013
Rookie of the Year. She continued her dominance and is a six-time WNBA All-Star
(2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019), WNBA Scoring Campion (2015), a two-time
Most Valuable Player (2015, 2019), and a WNBA Champion with the Washington
Mystics (2019).

Off-court, Elena is one of the most marketable women’s athletes. Her key
partnerships include Nike and Gatorade. After headlining the Nike’s inclusive
and adaptive FlyEase series of shoes, she launched her own series of signature
shoes, the Nike Air Deldon. She is also the founder of Deldon Designs, a
woodworking business.

Elena’s attentiveness to her philanthropic efforts is what sets her apart. Her
sister, Lizzie, was born blind and deaf, while also having cerebral palsy and
autism. Additionally, during Elena’s time in college, she discovered she was
suffering from Lyme disease and has made an effort throughout her career to find
a cure. Her experiences led to Elena founding The Elena Delle Donne Charitable
Foundation. The foundation aims to raise funds for and awareness of Lyme Disease
research and special needs programs. Through her philanthropic dedication, Elena
was named a Special Olympics Global Ambassador in 2014.

BARBARA CORCORAN

Barbara Corcoran’s credits include straight D’s in high school and college and
20 jobs by the time she turned 23. It was her next job that would make her one

quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City.
Over the next 25 years Barbara would parlay that $1,000 loan into a $5 billion
real estate business, building the largest and best-known brand in the business.

Corcoran is the author of the best seller “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into
a Billion Dollar Business!” and host of top podcasts “Business Unusual with
Barbara Corcoran”.

Corcoran is a motivational and inspirational speaker. She is a frequent small

MARCUS COLLINS

Dr. Marcus Collins is an award-winning marketer and cultural translator with one
foot in the world of practice—formerly serving as the Head of Strategy at
Wieden+Kennedy, New York—and one foot in the world of academia—as a marketing
professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan.

His deep understanding of brand strategy and consumer behavior has helped him
bridge the academic-practitioner gap for blue-chip brands and startups alike. He
is a recipient of Advertising Age's 40 Under 40 award and Crain's Business' 40
Under 40 award, and an inductee into the American Advertising Federation’s
Advertising Hall of Achievement. Most recently, he was recognized by Thinkers50
with the Radar Distinguished Achievement Award for the idea most likely to shape
the future of business management. He has also served as a jury for the Cannes
Lion International Festival of Creativity.

Before joining Wieden+Kennedy, he served as the Chief Consumer Connections
Officer at Doner Advertising and led Social Engagement at Steve Stoute’s
advertising agency, Translation. Over the course of his career, Marcus has
developed a practice for creating culturally contagious ideas that inspire
people to take action. His strategies and creative contributions have led to the
launch and success of Google’s “Real Tone” technology, the “Made In America”
music festival, the Brooklyn Nets, and State Farm’s “Cliff Paul” campaign –
among others.

Prior to his advertising tenure, Marcus began his career in music and tech with
a startup he co-founded before working on iTunes + Nike sport music initiatives
at Apple and running digital strategy for Beyoncé.

Marcus’ work centers squarely on the impact of culture and the power that comes
from having great cultural proximity. His best-selling book, For The Culture:
The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be, examines the
influence of culture on consumption and unpacks how everyone from marketers to
activists can leverage culture to get people to take action. Throughout the
book, he relies on literature, case studies, his work with brands, and academic
data to illustrate the “whys” and the “hows” so that readers will be empowered
to successfully apply these learnings in their own pursuits.

Marcus holds a doctorate in marketing from Temple University where he studied
cultural contagion and meaning-making. He received an MBA with an emphasis on
strategic brand marketing from the University of Michigan, where he also earned
his undergraduate degree in Material Science Engineering. He is a Forbes
columnist and a trusted voice among CMOs and business leaders. But most
importantly, he is a proud Detroit native, a devoted husband, and a loving
father to Georgia and Ivy.

ROBYN SUE FISHER

An ice cream fanatic with a knack for invention, Robyn Sue founded Smitten Ice
Cream in 2009 to spread joy and create the freshest, most flavorful ice cream on
earth. After ditching her corporate consulting career, she began immersing
herself in all things ice cream and was increasingly bothered by the modern
industry's complicated ingredients and focus on shelf-life. So, she invented her
own patented machine to perfect the art of churning pure, fresh scoops to-order
in 90 seconds using liquid nitrogen and only the very best ingredients. She
first put Smitten on the map when she placed her custom-built “Brrr®” machine
atop a Radio Flyer wagon and started selling her churned-to-order ice cream on
the streets of San Francisco to the crowds that gathered, soon building a
cult-like following.

From those humble beginnings came Smitten’s first shop in San Francisco in 2011.
The company now has two bustling retail locations in the Bay Area, one in San
Francisco’s Mission neighborhood and one in San Jose’s Santana Row, in addition
to a licensed location with TableOne Hospitality in Las Vegas. Touted by Vogue
as “The freshest, if not the best, ice cream on Earth,” and featured in a vast
array of media, from Food & Wine and Forbes to Wired and TechCrunch, Smitten is
setting the bar for mastery of the perfect scoop. Robyn is an alumni and scholar
athlete of Williams College, received her MBA from Stanford Graduate School of
Business, is an inventor on 8 patents, and lives with her husband and two young
sons in San Francisco.
