In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting women across our company who have pushed the business forward and inspired others to do the same.
Shiz Suzuki, assistant vice president, Sponsorship & Experiential Marketing.
In just over 2 years of tenure, Shiz has led a transformative effort to evolve AT&T’s sponsorships portfolio.
She’s helped establish innovative partnerships with the NBA and WNBA, unlocking a new industry with esports and gaming partnerships. As part of her efforts, she’s helped in raising the visibility of women in sports like basketball, soccer, golf and event esports.
“As a woman of color in this sports marketing industry, I recognize my position and role has the ability to inspire those that see themselves in me,” Shiz said. “I’m proud to be a part of a company that celebrates and honors the work each of us does, regardless of who it comes from. I believe everybody deserves to be represented, at all levels.”
