Background

About Joseph Jean

As a strategic and results-driven business development leader, I specialize in building and scaling high-impact partnerships that drive revenue growth, brand visibility, and long-term value. With a proven track record across leading organizations, I’ve consistently delivered results through strategic deal execution, data-informed decision making, and a deep understanding of partner and customer needs. At New York Road Runners, I lead the Business Development and Strategic Partnerships team, securing and executing marquee partnerships for the TCS New York City Marathon and NYRR’s flagship events — from global brands like TAG Heuer, Smoothie King, CookUnity, Shokz, and Culligan to emerging innovators. My focus lies in developing purpose-led partnerships that connect brands with passionate audiences and deliver measurable business impact.Throughout my career, I’ve negotiated and closed multimillion-dollar partnerships, launched new go-to-market strategies, and driven over $100M in revenue across industries, including sports, tech, retail, and media. I take pride in leading and mentoring high-performing teams, fostering collaboration, and executing complex deals from concept to close. I’m passionate about creating strategic growth opportunities that align business goals with audience engagement — building partnerships that not only perform, but also inspire.
