Dellavedova joins Swan as Vice President of Business Development
CALABASAS, Calif., Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Swan Bitcoin announced today that pro basketball player Matthew Dellavedova is joining the team as Vice President of Business Development. Dellavedova is in the midst of a highly successful basketball career. Highlights include winning an NBA Championship in 2016 with Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Olympic bronze with the Australian national team in 2020. Dellavedova has been an active start-up investor and advisor since 2017, increasingly focused on the Bitcoin industry.
"I'm excited to be joining Swan to help spread adoption, especially in sports and Australia, where I'm still playing professional basketball," said Dellavedova. "It's already been a lot of fun learning from the experts at Swan, and I look forward to educating athletes, in particular, about the benefits of Bitcoin."
Dellavedova is off to a hot start. He recently met with players and staff of the Saint Mary's men's basketball team, his alma mater, to talk Bitcoin. The Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rule change is opening up significant opportunities for college athletes. One of the challenges young athletes can face is saving for a life after sports. Bitcoin cannot be debased, making it a money well-suited to maintain or gain value over time. Dellavedova plans to introduce Bitcoin to many more athletes looking to save for the future.
"Matt is a savvy businessman and investor," said Cory Klippsten, Swan's founder and CEO. "He's obviously a disciplined and incredibly hard worker. But the biggest reason we brought Delly onto the Swan squad is his dedication to spreading Bitcoin adoption and the audience he can reach outside the Bitcoin industry."
Over the past four years, Swan built one of the industry's best education and product teams and grew a successful platform for onboarding individuals, corporations, IRAs, financial advisors, and employers to Bitcoin. Swan sees big opportunities to continue spreading Bitcoin awareness and adoption through the world of sports.
