Abstract

Samantha Holloway, daughter of billionaire David Bonderman, has taken over as executive chair of the Kraken hockey team in Seattle. She is also attempting to secure one of the NBA's proposed expansion teams for the city. Holloway is careful not to get ahead of the NBA's plans but is positioning her ownership group to bring a team back to Seattle. Seattle is well-positioned for an NBA franchise with the Climate Pledge Arena, which was purposefully rebuilt to accommodate basketball, and the city's strong sports culture. Holloway also emphasizes the importance of running a profitable business and being a community leader, supporting initiatives tackling youth homelessness, climate, and access to hockey.
