I am ecstatic about the planned initiatives to spark from our joint effort to diversify and include women and minorities in underrepresented roles in the Atlanta Metropolitan area, the USA, and beyond.”
Commenting on the sponsorship, Tobias Hoffmeister, President & CEO of MHP Americas, said: “MHP is proud to take a leadership role in advancing women’s rights in all facets of society. We believe strongly in the significant role of women and the responsibility industry leaders have to increase opportunities to participate and succeed in fields that they have traditionally been excluded from.”
Timo Holschuh, Head of Finance of MHP Americas, said: “The partnership with Atlanta Phoenix is an exciting one for me personally. They play their games almost in my backyard in downtown Decatur. We’re extremely honored to be forerunners to commit travel funding, business contacts, and a host of other resources to growing the vision and new avenues for women to thrive and succeed on the global stage. We hope the support and sponsorship of an industry leader like MHP sends a powerful message about the growing appeal of women’s sports — and women’s football in particular. We see it as a vehicle to tear down social barriers and stereotypes while aligning with various business strategies and socially responsible investments. We’re taking a stand to invest in women’s football and believe others should and will follow.”
