President
Prodigy Sports
Dan Rossetti brings nearly 20 years of involvement in the execution of recruiting engagements within the sports and entertainment space to Prodigy Sports.
Prior to being acquired by Prodigy Sports in September, 2017, Rossetti ran Ascension Sports Partners, which he founded in 2008, with the belief that a candidate does not need to have a seat in the boardroom to receive executive level treatment and guidance in their professional career choices. Since starting Ascension Sports Partners, Rossetti has conducted searches for many organizations within sports and entertainment. Some of these include: International Speedway Corporation, Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, USTA, Circuit of the Americas, IndyCar, UFC, Bellator MMA, Speedway Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, Chip Ganassi Racing, Planet Hollywood, Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Professional Bull Riders, Philadelphia Eagles, and many others.
Prior to Ascension Sports Partners, Rossetti was the Senior Vice President for the executive search arm of Turnkey Sports and Entertainment. While at Turnkey, Rossetti was responsible for the management and recruitment of executive searches for clients within the professional sports, entertainment, and experiential marketing fields. During his tenure, Rossetti’s team helped increase overall search revenues 250% from when he started.
Before joining Turnkey Sports and Entertainment, Rossetti spent nearly five years with the nation’s largest Information Technology staffing firm, TEKsystems (a division of Allegis Group). At TEKsystems, Rossetti learned and honed his trade as a recruiter placing numerous technical candidates within the Southeastern and Midwestern marketplaces.
In addition, Rossetti spent time with publications giant, Thomson Corporation, selling web-based tax research to corporations, accountants, and tax attorneys. Also, Rossetti spent two years as Manager of Concierge Services for one of Cincinnati’s largest Health and Wellness Centers, Mercy HealthPlex.
Rossetti earned his BA in Business Management from Wittenberg University and is a continuing member of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). He has also attended Caliper’s Client Education Workshop.
Rossetti has been involved with the Make A Wish Foundation of Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky since 2011 and just completed a tenure as Chairman for their Regional Advisory Board.
A former standout rugby player, Rossetti enjoys spending time with his family, exercising, cheering on the defending College Football Champion Clemson Tigers, and taking on an occasional obstacle course race. Dan currently resides in Mason, OH with his wife and their two daughters.
