Jimmy Pitaro - Chairman of ESPN and Absolute All-star!
Jimmy Pitaro's journey from Cornell to ESPN exemplifies resilience, passion, hard work and the importance of relationships.
From his early days as a hometown football star, to leading one of the world's most famous and iconic sports networks, Jimmy's story is inspiring and filled with gratitude for the people that helped propel him to Chairman of ESPN; including football recruiting coaches, his incredible wife, a very special college professor, and exceptional colleagues.
Here is an example of tireless hard work and perseverance paying off. Plus it doesn’t hurt that he is unbelievably smart and charismatic.
And, we pitched him some brand new Cornell related sporting events for those hard-to-fill early morning hours.
It was an honor to get to know Jimmy and you will be riveted.
