Story Highlights
In this partnership, Slalom will leverage its strategy expertise to support ACFC in identifying and prioritizing growth opportunities for the club and its global brand.
Slalom is renowned for its success in helping organizations dream bigger, move faster, and build better tomorrows for all.
Slalom has a proven track record of success, having collaborated with companies such as the Chicago Cubs, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Southwest Airlines, among others, to drive transformation and growth for their businesses.
ACFC’s conversations with Slalom began in May 2021, when both organizations discussed a shared vision for supporting the growth of Angel City and the broader realm of women’s sports. This partnership is unique as Slalom has committed to deliver both a sponsorship and consulting services to help ACFC accelerate its goals, underscoring its dedication to ACFC and its commitment to community impact.

Angel City and Slalom will aid ACFC non-profit partners by providing them with the strategic resources necessary for navigating critical and timely business strategy projects. This initiative exemplifies ACFC’s commitment to leveraging partnerships for the greater good, ensuring our non-profit allies are well-equipped to advance their missions amidst change and challenges.

This partnership represents a pivotal step forward in our mission to redefine the future of sports and improve our community, and we look forward to the remarkable impact we will achieve together.”
