How I Got My Opportunity
Derrick Godfrey in his last position was a Vice President at Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. for a year before losing his job - and just before the company declared bankruptcy in 2008. In the midst of this economic crisis, he landed his next job in just five months becoming Vice President of International Business Development for Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM). In his new position Godfrey’s team is responsible for expanding international interest in baseball by using technology and the Internet to make it available on demand for countries outside the U.S. – particularly in areas where soccer dominates.
