CEO, Jordan Fliegel
A born leader passionate to make a difference, Jordan, a former professional basketball player in Europe and the Middle East, and longtime basketball private coach, is a natural entrepreneur. With experience in early stage companies, Jordan was hired after receiving his MBA to work at start-up Zintro, a venture-backed online marketplace in the information sourcing space. In 2011 Jordan launched CoachUp, where he applies his extensive knowledge of both online marketplace strategy and the sports private coaching industry. Best yet, he leads by example.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Jordan on a daily bases for the past 6 months. His work ethic and thirst for knowledge are stunning. He will succeed and no one will tell him otherwise! After spending 15 minutes with this guy you realize his presence is influential, a leader who is inspiring flocks of new team members and interns ready to contribute and solve a problem many of us recognize as an immediate opportunity in fixing an archaic industry.
A Coaching community, coaching a Community
