Meet Sunny Dhillon, Partnerships Marketing Manager at the Seattle Sounders, where he manages the club's biggest accounts - Adidas, Toyota and jersey sponsor Providence.
Sunny didn't grow up planning a career in sport. A kid from Wolverhampton who nearly enrolled in a computing degree, he pivoted after a halftime TV advert pointed him toward a football business degree, and never looked back.
From pressing names onto jerseys in the Manchester City club shop, to sponsorship operations at Manchester United, global partnerships at his boyhood club, the Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., to building a life and career across the Atlantic in the US, Sunny's path is a masterclass in saying yes to discomfort.
Whether you're eyeing your first break or trying to level up once you're inside, Sunny's story is proof that you don't need a perfect plan, just the willingness to follow the spark and keep backing yourself when things get uncomfortable.
