Mike Raffensperger
President, Sports
It’s somehow fitting that a company that accepts tens of billions of dollars in bets each year would be the first, and to date only, brand to risk the success of a pricey Super Bowl spot on a live production, a.k.a., the FanDuel Kick of Destiny that twice featured Rob Gronkowski and this year pivoted to the Manning brothers. All three went off cleanly, as did the recent placement of the FanDuel brand on 16 regional sports networks, an extension that Mike Raffensperger, an SBJ Forty Under 40 honoree in 2022, championed and oversaw. Previously the brand’s CMO, he is responsible for FanDuel’s P&L across its North American business unit.
