A very small team, a very strong advisory board.

Darren Herman · Founder

In his spare time, Darren runs Silicon Alley Sports. As for his main job, he's a Managing Director at Bain Capital and an investor around Silicon Alley. He also serves as a Trustee at the Tremont School, a grades 6 to 12 school for neurodiverse and neurotypical children.

His Silicon Alley roots go back to the beginning: he worked in the Alley as an intern at i33 Communications, then continued as an intern at Conducive Corporation as eBay Keywords and adMarketplace were born. That was his first taste of Silicon Alley, before he founded his first company, IGA Worldwide Inc., right in the heart of it.

He's definitely not the best golfer at the flagship, but probably has the most excitement for the love of the game. And a confession: while he seemingly loves the flagship, it's the tennis event he really loves. Tennis is his favorite sport.

Rebecca Friedberg · Events

Rebecca has been a mainstay at Silicon Alley Sports events. She's usually the smiling face that checks everyone in on arrival. As for her day to day, she's a Manager, Design Operations at Mastercard.
