Just two days before the Brooklyn-based New York Liberty tip off the 2020 season in Bradenton, Florida, team owner Joe Tsai tabbed Clarke, who has spent the previous decade in various roles within the organization, as the first chief executive officer in the history of the WNBA franchise.
“Keia has an incredible ability to combine strategic thinking, operating excellence and a focus on people and talent,” Tsai, who also owns the Brooklyn Nets, said after promoting Clarke from her most recent position as chief operating officer.
