New York Jets CFO’s Views on the Business of Sports

 Featured in Latest Issue of CFO Studio Magazine

CFOstudio-BrianFriedmanCover-3-19-14 (986x1280)SOMERSET, NJ – CFOs interested in the viewpoint of a top financial executive inside the world of sports will find it in the cover story of the Q1 2014 issue of CFO Studio magazine, featuring a profile of Brian Friedman, the New York Jets’ chief financial officer.

Friedman’s challenges involve keeping fans engaged year-round. The article, “The Jets Playbook,” notes that “the revenue of a football franchise now depends on fully understanding the multiple ways people interact with your team: season-ticket holders, TV watchers, buyers in the secondary ticket market, users of Internet live chat and live streaming, and purchasers of memorabilia.”

Clearly focusing on these fans, the Jets organization is finding alternative revenue sources and engagement opportunities beyond filling the stadium. The CFO’s job is to “be cognizant of where you need to make investments across all areas, and be sure you are investing time, resources, and money into all the things that are having that fan impact right now,” Friedman says in the article.

After more than four years as the CFO of the Jets, overseeing all the financial aspects of the Jets organization and sharing responsibility for MetLife Stadium’s financial operations with the CFO of the New York Giants, Friedman is in an ideal position to comment on sports as a business.

CFO Studio Magazine, which is published quarterly by Real Estate Strategies Corporation, will release its Q1 issue, featuring business profiles and strategic advice for New Jersey- and New York-area CFOs, during the third week of March.
