About Jon Pritchett

A dynamic leader with a record of success in leveraging contrarian thinking, a growth mindset, innovative marketing, persuasive communications, fundraising, and data-driven management skills to achieve uncommon results. I am an experienced leader with a desire to accelerate growth and consistently improve operations so that an organization can achieve uncommon success. I value an environment where everyone understands their own role and how their individual achievement can contribute to corporate success. A high performance organization needs to plan, act, measure, and report on a regular basis so that everyone understands how things are going. Over several decades of leadership, I've learned - through success and failure - how to apply an operating philosophy that gets results. I am a fundraiser for Becket, a non-profit, public interest legal and educational institution. We are the leaders in the fight for religious liberty for all. Our mission is to protect the expression of all faiths and we do it through the court of law, the court of public opinion, and the academy. Our record at the Supreme Court and in the lower courts is unmatched and has made us the premier religious liberty law firm.I am also the managing partner of Tobacco Road Capitalists, a consulting firm with a focus on helping companies within the sports, entertainment, media, healthcare technology, public policy, and consumer products sectors.My early career involved several sports-related companies including sports media, sports marketing, sports teams/leagues, sports tech, sports real estate, & sports medicine. Over my career, I have specialized in building and managing teams in start-ups, early-stage growth, and turn-around organizations. I have also worked as an investment banker/advisor - raising over $100MM in equity for clients or as principal. More recently, I have worked in the public policy sector - using my skills as a fundraiser & my experience in operational management/leadership - to limit government and strengthen free markets and private institutions. I have also written many national articles and provided television commentary on the business of sports, public policy, and leadership. I am a contributor to the Wall Street Journal and Forbes.
