G2 Strategic Enters into Consulting Agreement with CSKA Moscow
Moscow, Russia (9 July 2004) – G2 Strategic announced today that it has secured its second major European client, CSKA Moscow. G2 Strategic is a new consulting firm, based in Boston, Massachusetts that was recently
launched by sports business veteran Marshall Glickman.
CSKA was the traditional ‘Red Army’ team during the Soviet era and today is one of Europe’s top clubs, appearing in the last two editions of the Euroleague Final Four. CSKA’s president is Aleksandr Gomelski, who coached the Soviet National Team for many years, led by the great
Arvidas Sabonis.
‘We are very pleased to have Marshall working with CSKA,’ said CSKA Moscow CEO Sergey Kuschenko. ‘He brings to us very deep knowledge of sports business, with a special emphasis on the planning and development of new arenas. We are optimistic that, working together with G2 Strategic, we will find the best possible solution to building a new arena for CSKA sometime in the near future.’
Glickman has resided in Barcelona, Spain since December 2002, as a full-time consultant for Euroleague Basketball. G2 Strategic recently announced a new one-year agreement with Euroleague, to provide advisory
services relating to ticket sales, television, sponsorships, licensing, the Euroleague Final Four and long-term business strategy.
‘Having CSKA as my second major client in Europe is an honor for me,’ said Glickman. ‘Their management team, led by Mr. Kuschenko, is forward-thinking and already one of the most successful models for professional sports in Europe. I am really excited to get started with them.’
G2 provides global sports business solutions, addressing a broad range of issues and opportunities faced by the sports and entertainment industries. G2 stands for ‘Glickman Global,’ as an acronym of its founder and CEO, Marshall Glickman and the firm’s focus on an
international client base.
Since 1995, Glickman has served as a consultant to a range of clients, including architects (Ellerbe Becket, NBBJ), sports franchises (Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors), construction companies (Clark Construction Group), developers (Bechtel) and professional sports leagues (Euroleague).
