JAKE BRITSCHGI
Jake Britschgi, the youngest son of Steve Britschgi, has been involved with A4A since its birth. As a standout athlete in his own right, he played football and basketball in high school, but due to receiving too many concussions in his junior year, his athletic career was cut short. But, his passion for sports never died. Jake understands the seriousness of sports injuries as concussions became a large part of his life, but this injury only pushed him to find another way he could still leverage his competitive edge outside of sports.
After graduating from the University of Arizona with a Sport Management degree, Jake found his passion in tech sales. He rose through the ranks and has been running Business Development teams at software startups in SF/Bay Area for the past five years. Over time he has coached, trained, and developed over 100 young professionals out of college and led them down their own sales/marketing journey.
Jake's experience in Marketing and Business Development is the perfect fit for his role as Director of Business Development and Marketing as A4A continues to grow. Jake has now helped multiple companies in San Francisco bring in new business through creative sales and marketing campaigns. He loves to push the envelope with his creative ideas and strategies and find new ways to support any business where it's needed. Whether it is on the field or in the office, Jake carries his competitive edge with him wherever he goes.
