About Wendy Smith

I fell into the recruiting world when I joined Fanatics in its infancy. During my decade there, the company scaled from 200 to employees and I grew along with it and forged a career. From operations to corporate functions to niche industry-specific roles, I used a scrappy, customer service-focused approach to bring in talent at all levels to the world\'s #1 fan brand.Building off of my experience at Fanatics, I joined NIKE\'s world class talent acquisition organization as a lead talent partner supporting Corporate Functions. In my role supporting Global HR, I helped to build out multiple teams from the ground up and also brought in a diverse group of talent to support a massive transformational initiative. Later supporting Global Controlling, I managed all external hiring but internal as well, building a large pipeline of talent and simultaneously serving as a career advisor to each. While I run a tight process and bring solid recruiting fundaments to the table, what differentiates me is my enthusiasm, work ethic and commitment to excellence. I thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment that allows me to make an impact on my customers: my candidates and business partners. I love matching people with their dream jobs and creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds and experiences. I am so thrilled to have joined the team at TMRW! Joining in its infancy, I\'m building the recruiting function from the ground up while partnering with passionate leaders to bring in some of the most talented people to join us in creating the future of TGL and TMRW Sports.
