Worldwide NFT, Inc. (OTC: WNFT) has brought Perry Rogers onto its advisory board, the company said Wednesday. Rogers, the sports agent who represents Shaquille O'Neal and Jayson Tatum, is founder and CEO of PRP, a sports management and corporate consulting firm. His client list also includes Andre Agassi and Sophie Cunningham. Rogers owns and operates venues on the Las Vegas Strip – Alexxa's, BEER PARK, and Cheri Rooftop – and holds a J.D. from the University of Arizona.
CEO Jay Wright said Rogers' negotiating experience and track record in microcap dealmaking make him a fit for the company's acquisition strategy. Wright highlighted a 2005 transaction where Rogers helped merge media assets into a small sports entertainment company with the ticker SPEA, calling it "one of the best microcap deals in the past 30 years."
"Jay is putting together an excellent foundation to create value for WNFT shareholders, and I look forward to helping him grow the Company into a substantial, profitable business," Rogers said in the release.
