When I first met Melissa Proctor, CMO of the Atlanta Hawks, I was blown away from the first minute. An inspirational leader who went from Ball Girl to CMO, per the title of her recent book, she has had such an interesting journey driven by her determination and perseverance. Today, on Martin Luther King Day, we share her story of success as well as her big news. For three years she’s been working on an important moment that will take place later today.  The Atlanta Hawks will be wearing their new uniforms that proudly say “MLK” on the front of their jersey, not Atlanta, not Hawks,but simply “MLK” in honor of Dr. King.

And it isn’t just a uniform. The three-year journey included tremendous research to fully connect and empower the city of Atlanta, working with the community, local organizations and the Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. And a commitment to the future to ensure equity and equality are better embraced and understood by all. 

Melissa and her teams’ work will not only be recognized locally, but already has earned global recognition from none other than the Pope.  When the Pope learned of today, he asked that a MLK uniform be shipped to him so he could bless it and send it back in time for today's game.  Tune in to hear all of Melissa's amazing moves that got her fully in the game and able to drive such meaningful action.

Tune in to hear about Jonathan's amazing journey, what he took away from his time at Ralph Lauren with Ralph himself, (who Jonathan said took a big chance on him as a first time CMO at the time and who, Heide, my co-host, is on a first name basis with now, much to her surprise).

Today we have what I think may be our first censored episode of #CMOMoves, for good reason! Kory Marchisotto, CMO of E.L.F. BEAUTY, gave Heide Palermo and I tons to think about, too many competing headlines, great advice and loads of laughter.  Not to mention a masterclass on strategic elf and F-bombing along the way!  Warning. Do not listen to this if you are averse to bold talk, big ideas, bad words. But do listen if you’re into awesome role models, impossible (now conquered) missions, truthful advice, dance parties, curiosity, courage, conviction, and everything in between. It's elf'ing amazing!
