Sports Product Management Alumni

The Sports Product Management program has a reputation for producing exceptional graduates who thrive in leadership roles in the sports and outdoor product industry.

Our alumni work around the world in large and small brands, including Nike, adidas, Under Armour, New Balance, On Running, Hoka, and Specialized, as well as SmithOptics, Hydroflask, and Outdoor Research. The program has an active alumni association, and graduates regularly give back through mentoring, guest speaking, and offering jobs and internships.

  • 90 percent of SPM alumni are working in the sports and outdoor industry, broadly defined to include the ecosystem supporting sports and outdoor products, including brands, manufacturing, technology, hardgoods, and related sectors.
  • 80 percent of graduating SPM cohorts land roles within 9 months of graduation.
  • More than 500 SPM alumni are working across more than 200 sport- and outdoor-related companies globally.
  • Career growth continues after that first role: alumni typically move into a second role or earn a promotion within 1.5–2.5 years after entering the industry.

Your time in the program may be over, but that doesn't mean our support for you is over. We are always here for you.
