Xero Ltd. CEO Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, one of Canada’s “most accomplished executives in Silicon Valley,” is “joining the ownership group” of Toronto’s WNBA expansion team, the Tempo. Cassidy is the second person to join the Tempo’s ownership group after retired tennis star Serena Williams, since majority owner Larry Tanenbaum‘s Kilmer Sports Ventures was awarded the franchise last May. Tempo President Teresa Resch said Tanenbaum “hopes to bring on 10 to 12 women as minority shareholders.” Cassidy, who previously led ticket reseller StubHub, said in an interview that she’d “looked at several opportunities to invest in pro sports teams before connecting with Kilmer last year” (GLOBE AND MAIL, 4/30).
