Bio
Chris O'Brien
I had the pleasure working with Kyra while at the Blazers and she was very instrumental in structuring a mutual beneficial multiyear partnership between Kimberly Clark/Spenco and the organization. At the time it was the Spenco’s first sports sponsorship with multiple marketing elements... Kyra is a dependable and principled sales pro who has delivered consistently and I highly recommend her.

I have known Kyra for over twenty years both as a friend and as a professional. Kyra is a team player and she has excelled to her current leadership position through her keen understanding of business and profitability. Kyra routinely demonstrates the character and qualities that you look for in a professional as she is organized, dependable and self-motivated with a high degree of integrity. Kyra knows the importance of establishing strong relationships, whether it be with her retail accounts or members of her team and as a result Kyra has an excellent rapport with everyone that she has contact with. I worked with Kyra when I was a buyer both at GI Joe’s and RSG (Running Specialty Group).
