Alberto Verme

Sport has always been more than a career for me. It is a platform to inspire, learn from others, and create meaningful impact.

As a founder, operator, investor, and strategic partnerships leader, I have built my career at the intersection of football, technology, and entrepreneurship. From representing professional footballers and building my own sports management business to leading commercial growth and partnerships at Sportable, I have been fortunate to work with clubs, leagues, federations, investors, and innovators across the global sports ecosystem.

Today, I serve as Director of Sales & Strategic Partnerships at Sportable, helping elite organisations harness technology and data to enhance performance, engagement, and decision-making. Alongside my professional role, I actively support and invest in early-stage ventures that are shaping the future of sport, media, and technology.

I was awarded a Distinction from the University of Cambridge for my Master’s in Entrepreneurship, where my research explored athlete entrepreneurship through the lens of women’s football and the growing role of athletes as leaders, entrepreneurs, and drivers of societal change.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am passionate about giving back through charitable fundraising initiatives, including supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital and Cancer Research UK. A lifelong supporter of Atlético de Madrid, I have always been inspired by values of resilience, humility, and collective effort. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me by the water with a fishing rod in hand.

As a proud University of Surrey alumnus, I remain committed to supporting the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.
