INTRODUCING Your Celebrity Guest for the Evening
Maria Sharapova
Maria Sharapova
Maria Sharapova is a world-class tennis champion, investor, and entrepreneur. Her passion for craftsmanship and detail is reflected in everything she does, both on and off the tennis court.
After moving to the United States from Russia at the age of six to pursue her tennis career, Maria turned professional at 14. She won Wimbledon at age 17, the first of her five career Grand Slam titles, and became just the seventh female player in the Open Era to complete the career Grand Slam.
Outside of tennis, Maria is an active founder, CEO, and business investor. She is an equity owner of Supergoop and a longtime ambassador for evian, and she continues to expand her business portfolio as an investor and strategic advisor to companies including Tonal, Therabody, Public.com, Bala, and Wolf & Shepherd. She also recently joined the board of public company Moncler.
Across all of her ventures, Maria works closely with her partners on areas including product development, creative branding, content strategy, growth, and expansion. In addition to her work as an athlete and entrepreneur, she is passionate about design and architecture and recently launched her first furniture collection in partnership with Rove Concepts. Whatever the project, Maria brings a creative and hands-on approach to everything she does.
