Speedy Moorman has become the latest multi-platform journalist to transition from traditional media to entrepreneur in Hollywood’s fast-growing creative economy.
Moorman left Complex Networks to join Boardroom, the sports media and entertainment brand founded by NBA star Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman, where his duties include becoming an on-camera host and executive producer.
Moorman is also the latest big-name strategic consultant to join Boardroom after on-air sports reporter Taylor Rooks joined the media brand as it looks to guide membership around in-person events and the digital community. Other advisors include former NFL star turned TV personality Michael Strahan, musician Mark Ronson and CAA Sports co-president Mike Levin.
“Boardroom will always be rooted in sports and entertainment, and as we continue to grow, we will always stay true to our voice. Speedy’s ability to tell amazing stories and connect with talent and audiences alike makes him an ideal representative of that voice and a vital figure in our company’s growth,” Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman said in a statement.
Having created and hosted 360 with Speedy Morman In complex networks and co-hosting Spotify Waking up Morning show, Moorman has extensive experience interviewing personalities in the sports, entertainment and cultural industries.
“Boardroom really drives how culture moves, so it seemed natural,” Moorman said in his own statement. “For me, it’s about building something real, telling stories that actually work, and creating moments you can feel. Ownership is a big part of that, having real input, real stake, real impact. That’s the path I’m on and we’re about to take it to another level.”
Boardroom has also launched a print magazine in partnership with Condé Nast, a new tier of the Boardroom Members Club, and will be part of the CNBC x Boardroom Game Plan Summit in July and an NBA and WNBA All-Star Weekend activation.
