In this gratitudeo, I express my gratitude to Rene Leal, the Director of Properties, Leagues Cup, for Major League Soccer, but also Football Partnerships’ intern more than 15 years ago. 

Since assuming that humble role, Rene has gone on to enjoy success with numerous marketing agencies before landing back in New York City.

Takeaway: See beyond the humble first step
