About our founder

Jamie Fabos-Leaverton cut her teeth in professional sports and multiple Olympic Games prior to moving on to a decade-long career in local government. A senior level executive advisor with over 20 years of experience leading communications strategy for high-visibility organizations across the public, private, non-profit and sports sectors, her most recent experience includes a decade of public service in the city of Colorado Springs where she most recently served as the Chief of Staff for the nation’s 39th largest city. Adept at navigating political policy, stakeholder engagement and fast-changing media climates, Fabos led the City's response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Planned Parenthood shooting and a myriad of weather and political events. She secured the city’s multi-year recognition as U.S. News and World Report's Most Desirable City in America for four straight years and launched Colorado Springs’ identity as Olympic City USA.

Prior to government service, Fabos spent nearly 20 years in the sports industry. During that time she managed public relations for the U.S. Olympic Swim team through two Olympic Games including Michael Phelps’ historic eight gold-medal performance. She also ran the operational execution of the media zones for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games and promoted the incredible athletes on the U.S. Women’s Olympic hockey team. Prior to relocating to Colorado, Fabos managed PR for the NHL’s New York Islanders.

Jamie is a proud military spouse married to a U.S. Army veteran. The couple share four children, two dogs and two horses.
