𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 40 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙖𝙢𝙚: 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨 𝘿’𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙯𝙖, 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙂𝙚𝙚𝙠 💺 Three-time Forty Under 40 nominee Russell D'Souza has spent the last 16 years building SeatGeek from a scrappy startup into live sports’ No. 2 ticketing marketplace. It's been a journey that hit its most emotional moment in 2021, when he looked around AT&T Stadium at 73,000 fans and realized: “We’re back.” Since then, D'Souza has helped lead SeatGeek’s rebound by stepping into a more client-facing role as President of Supply. He’s driven major partnerships with Paciolan and Major League Baseball, adding more than a billion dollars in inventory, while strengthening relationships with teams and leagues across the NFL, NBA, PGA, LPGA, NWSL and others. A product builder at heart, D'Souza swapped traditional sales pitches for collaborative whiteboarding sessions — a nod to the creative spark he inherited from his father, a scientist credited with inventing the Listerine strip. Today, he’s focused on solving problems for fans, teams and venues, all while supporting a global, remote-first SeatGeek workforce.

2dCool to see them climb up the ranks, and really innovate on the overall experience. Somebody building a ticketing platform -> might be one of the most challenging things. The undertaking of having the concurrency, scale, trust, and sheer ability to sell, transact, resell, transfer, refund, price codes, scanning in, ETC is unreal. Congrats Russ - what a life problem to invest and win in!
