About Chip Allen
My career has been built on one thing: growing revenue in sports. Over 7 consecutive years at the Durham Bulls, more than doubling total sponsorship revenue by building the kind of partner relationships that last and delivering activation programs that actually move the needle for partners. That\'s not maintenance work. That\'s building something. Today, as Commissioner of the Coastal Plain League under Capitol Broadcasting Company, that same philosophy drives everything. Leading a 16-team collegiate league across VA, NC, SC, and GA, with responsibility for league-level partnership strategy, operations, expansion, and brand. Since joining in 2022, the league has grown with two new franchises, an all-Australian roster model that\'s the first of its kind in the CPL, and the first female player in league history. Beyond the numbers, the work that energizes me most is building from zero. Launching the Greenville Yard Gnomes, building the Holly Springs Salamanders into a record-setting operation, and now standing up the Zebulon franchise have each required creating something real out of nothing. That\'s where I thrive. Earlier in my career, I led marketing and advertising campaigns for the sports entities like the Carolina Hurricanes, NC State, Duke, UNC, and Wake Forest, started in advertising at GSD & M in Austin, and served as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force. If you\'re building something in sports, I\'d welcome the conversation.
