Tuesday, July 14th - Mandy Gutmann
As Senior Vice President of Communications, Mandy leads the business and internal communications, and community relations efforts for BSE Global properties, including Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets and their NBA G League team, the Long Island Nets, and their NBA 2K League affiliate, NetsGC. She also manages media relations for concerts, college basketball, boxing, and other special events, encompassing all aspects of corporate, entertainment, community, and crisis communications.
Since joining the company in 2012, Gutmann has played an integral role in the launch of the Brooklyn Nets brand after the team’s move from New Jersey, the grand opening of Barclays Center in 2012, the re-opening of NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, and most recently, the re-opening of the iconic music venue, Webster Hall. Gutmann was hired as Communications Manager in 2012, and has risen through the ranks to her current role, to which she was named in July 2019.
After breaking into the sports industry with Women’s Sports Foundation, Gutmann held various public relations positions at Madison Square Garden for more than four years.
Raised in Dayton, Ohio, Gutmann became the owner and operator of “Mandy’s Cool Candies,” a Good Humor Ice Cream truck, at the age of 16. Over the next five years, she became a dominant force in the local ice cream truck scene, acquiring her first taste of business experience. Gutmann is a graduate of Ithaca College with a B.A. in journalism and sports studies. She resides in Brooklyn with family.
Thursday, July 16th - Porsche Foxx, Radio Personality, 106liveradio.com
Commitment, dedication and responsiveness accurately describe her distinctive style. She makes a commitment every day to her audience, bringing them the best in music and entertainment. Equally important, she is dedicated to community service. Her contributions have significantly added to the incredible success of V-103 for more than ten years. Ms. Foxx's effectiveness is evident by her ability to consistently deliver #1 Arbitron ratings in key demographics, including 12+, 18-34 and 25-54, among others. (This impressive feat is not easy to achieve, particularly in one of the largest and most competitive radio markets in the country!)
Porsche's innovation and career as a radio personality began in Pine Bluff, Arkansas at radio station KCAT-AM, while attending the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. She graduated with a degree in Speech and Drama with emphasis in Communications and moved to Power 92 in Little Rock, Arkansas. This experience was followed by KISS 92.3 in Shreveport, Louisiana where Ms. Foxx received industry recognition as one of the hottest on-air personalities. She took her brand of lively audience interaction and silky, sophisticated delivery to 106.5 WAMO in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Subsequently, she “Rocked the Box” at MAGIC 102.1 in Houston, Texas. Internationally known as one of the most versatile radio personalities in the business, she has worked in key radio markets at top-40 stations 104.5 in Philadelphia and B 98.5 in New Jersey before taking the Atlanta market by storm.
