great brands deserve a great stage.

Luke Reissman is a partnership executive with over 25 years of experience helping brands and properties create and grow successful partnerships.

But long before his career began, he was making a name for himself in the legendary youth sports scene of Suffern, New York — and later at the athletic powerhouse known as Tufts University. He’s perhaps best known for his memorable Little League World Series regional appearance — highlighted by three first-inning errors and three hours of tears — or for carding an 85 in his lone Tufts golf team outing.

Most recently, Luke led the partnerships group at the PGA of America, overseeing all corporate sponsorship activity and leading a team responsible for securing and managing relationships with global and domestic brands including Aon, Cadillac, Rolex, and T-Mobile. During his tenure, he drove record sponsorship growth and spearheaded innovative initiatives such as the first-ever commercial partner branding platforms at both the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship.

Before joining the PGA of America, Luke spent more than a decade with the brand consulting group at Velocity Sports & Entertainment, where he led major accounts including AT&T, JPMorgan Chase, and Mars. His work included the landmark Chase / Madison Square Garden partnership and integrated marketing planning for the long-running Snickers / NFL relationship.

Luke lives in South Florida with his wife, Jennifer, and daughter, Ryan. He enjoys 4:30pm dinners and SPF 70.
