Meet one of your 2024 Orlando Magic Innovation Challenge Mentors: Marie Webb!!

Marie Heikkinen Webb is a graduate of the Sport Management program from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. During her time at UMass, she was a leader in the Women In Sport Management (WISM) program, and has since served as a mentor for UMass Sport Management students.

She began her career in Minor League Baseball, spending eight years overseeing marketing for teams in both the United States and Canada. Areas of focus included marketing strategy, advertising, community relations and game-day entertainment. After some time with teams in Portland, Maine and Burlington, Vermont, she moved to Ottawa, Ontario with a specific emphasis on rebranding the team and creating a fresh new game atmosphere for fans.

In her last stop in baseball she served as General Manager for a start-up team in New Haven, Connecticut. As one of only four female General Managers in minor league baseball at the time, she established the brand, oversaw all team and business operations for four years and was recognized as one of the region’s 40 Under Forty business leaders.

She transitioned to the NBA 16 years ago to join the Orlando Magic. Now as the Director of Marketing, Marie’s focus is on branding and advertising for the franchise, both locally and abroad, developing strategies to increase fan engagement and drive revenue.

Keeping innovation as a core value has been a priority for her. She was a catalyst for the Orlando Magic Innovation program at its inception, has won the team’s Innovator of the Year award, and leads the organization’s innovative-thinking series called Creative Spark.

Experience real-world innovation with innovators like yourself, other entrepreneurial leaders, and the Orlando Magic!
