Sarah Flynn Courtesy of Boardroom Sarah Fynn has been named president of Boardroom, the sports media and entertainment company co-founded by NBA star Kevin Durant and longtime manager Rich Kleiman.
Flynn rose up to the position after helping launch Boardroom with Durant and Kleiman and serving as chief marketing officer for the company for the past five-and-a-half years. In the new role, Flynn will oversee business strategy, marketing, partnerships, experiential and content operations for Boardroom, as well as 35V, Durant’s family office, which makes investments in startups and supports his personal brand and family foundation.
As CMO, Flynn struck strategic brand partnerships with Fanatics, Yahoo! Sports and CNBC, among others, and built Boardroom’s events slate including the inaugural Baha Mar Leadership Summit in September 2026 and the annual CNBC x Boardroom Game Plan Summit. She has also overseen the production of experiences surrounding NBA All-Star, WNBA All-Star, Super Bowl and the US Open. Flynn also launched Boardroom’s Members Club in June 2025 and its quarterly print magazine with Condé Nast in April 2026.
Earlier in her career, she was instrumental in Boardroom’s early marketing and content strategy which included producing credits on the Academy Award-winning Two Distant Strangers (Netflix), the critically acclaimed scripted series Swagger (Apple TV+) and Emmy-nominated documentary NYC Point Gods (Showtime). She is an executive producer on the forthcoming Kevin Durant documentary series with Netflix.
Prior to Boardroom and 35V, Flynn served as senior director of sports marketing at Roc Nation, where she helped launch Roc Nation Sports.
“When I joined 35V in 2017, Rich, Kevin and I knew we wanted to build in the media space but that we wanted to take the time to make sure we did it right. That’s paid off in so many ways as we look at what Boardroom has become and the incredible network that we have built. I’m extremely proud of the team we’ve built that continues to evolve the brand forward and expand our community,” Flynn said.
“Sarah, Kevin and I built Boardroom together from the beginning,” Kleiman said. “Her impact has always extended well beyond marketing across every area of our business, and elevating her to President is a natural next step as we continue to grow Boardroom. I can’t think of anyone better suited to help lead us into this next chapter.”
