sharing timely and insightful content vital to business success and

Andre Iguodala, most recently

All-Defensive Team twice, a three-time NBA Champion with the Golden

Olympics, winning the gold medal both times. Iguodala was named the

2019.
Off the court, Iguodala has invested in more than 50 companies
through his firm F9 Strategies, including Zoom, Robinhood, Datadog,
HIMS, Cloudflare, PagerDuty and Allbirds. In partnership with
Bloomberg, Iguodala created The Players Technology Summit, which
convenes top executives and leaders in the technology, venture
capital, and sports communities to exchange ideas and share
expertise in an educational and empowering forum. Iguodala is also
a member of the Board of Directors for Jumia Technologies, a
leading e-commerce platform widely considered the "Amazon of
Africa." He released the
New York Times bestselling memoir, The
Sixth Man, in 2019.
In his live discussion at 2 p.m.
on September 15, Iguodala will
discuss:
- Leadership on and off the court
- Overcoming obstacles in the pursuit of one's passions
- The competitive nature of an entrepreneur's journey
- The importance of mental fortitude
- Tech investing, data trends and analysis
"Andre has a diversified background, having risen to the top of
his game both as an athlete and in business," said TriNet Senior

PeopleForce 2021 focuses on themes of risk-taking and bravery, and
Andre has been nothing but courageous and steadfast in the pursuit
of his dreams. He stops at nothing to achieve his goals and his
competitive spirit is sure to motivate and inspire attendees. I
have watched him play basketball for years, but I can't wait to
hear him bring that same electricity from the court to the stage at
TriNet PeopleForce."
