Our Team

Amish Shah

Team Founder

Amish rose to prominence as managing partner of SierraMaya360, which became 2015’s Top Tech, Sports Media and Entertainment VC firm under his watch. His foresight to invest in both The Drone Racing League and Gameco put him in a unique position to bring his expertise to the thriving esports business. In addition to helping lead ReKT, Amish frequently appears on CNBC, FOX Business, Sirius Radio, and other outlets to provide insight on the convergence of sports and esports, and offer thoughtful commentary on trending tech news and IPOs.

Dave Bialek

Team Co-Founder, CEO

Dave received the prestigious Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 award for launching two of the most impactful advertising platforms in sports. First, he and his sales team created the iconic Allstate Field Goal Net program in NCAA Football, and for the encore, he elevated the State Farm brand by negotiating to attach the insurance company’s logo on the most impactful signage in all of sports, the NCAA and NBA basketball stanchions. Today, Dave brings his 25 plus years of experience in the sports marketing and media worlds to ReKTGlobal, where he aims to take esports mainstream.
