Katherine Johnson-Reid, Senior Vice President

A native Chicagoan, KJ moved to DC in 2006 thinking she would make a quick pitstop on her way back home to the Windy City.  The story took a different turn and KJ has been with Team Services since 2006 and lives in the District with her husband and two kids.  Her career in the industry was born out of her own love of playing a variety of sports growing up and of watching the Chicago Bulls during their hay day in Chicago.  KJ attended Davidson College (post Curry ) and maintains deep Wildcat (and Steph) pride!  She got her start at SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily where she was Research Associate.  She was part of the team that selected and vetted stories daily for SBD and worked closely with the editorial staffs of both publications to support their stories with data.  KJ’s initial work at Team Services heavily leveraged this research background on many collegiate and professional sponsorship valuation analyses.  In 2009 KJ moved on to the Dairy Management Inc business.  Today she runs the account and oversees execution of DMI’s NFL partnership, negotiation of all 32 NFL team deals and all player engagements and related marketing campaigns.
