About Inky Son
Chief Operating Officer and revenue leader with 20+ years of experience driving P&L growth, commercial strategy, and operational transformation across sports, athlete-driven organizations, media, and global consumer brands.I’ve led revenue strategy across licensing, consumer products, partnerships, and e-commerce. My background spans union leadership at the NBPA, board governance with Pro Sports Assembly, and brand and commercial growth across multi-billion-dollar sports and fashion ecosystems. I’ve built and scaled licensing divisions (4x revenue growth), led enterprise transformation and cost optimization initiatives, and launched new revenue verticals spanning gaming, digital collectibles, and emerging technology. Currently, I oversee all revenue at Rebel Girls, building the Consumer Products and e-commerce business from the ground up, including sourcing, distribution, and go-to-market strategy. Earlier in my career, I led global licensing and international expansion at DKNY, Calvin Klein, and other leading fashion brands.
