SALLY NNAMANI
I am a mission-driven leader with over a decade of experience at the intersection of sport, business, and global impact. I thrive in collaborating across diverse stakeholders to create partnerships that deliver impactful returns. My work spans across the U.S. and Africa, with a focus on sports, peacebuilding, economic development, youth leadership, resource mobilization, and impact investing. I am particularly driven by advancing social mobility and economic empowerment for girls and women.
Currently, I serve as the US co-Executive Director at PeacePlayers International — an award-winning organization with a mission to bridge divides and develop leaders through the unifying power of sport. My expertise includes building high impact programs in challenging contexts, cultivating global networks, impact measurement, building win-win partnerships, and team leadership. I am highly skilled at pitching and inspiring audiences around a shared mission, and translating action into tangible results.
Beyond my professional work, I am a Speaker, Board Advisor, and Consultant. My work has earned recognition as an Aspen IDEAS Fellow, a Term Member at the Council on Foreign Relations, and invitations to speak at at Stanford GSB LEAD, Harvard Business School, Wharton, the International Relations Council, the U.S. Capitol, and more. These platforms have positioned me to advance thought leadership in sports global affairs, and investing in critical areas of our society. I am a proud Alumna of CUNY, The New School, and Stanford GSB LEAD.
