Shelly Cayette recently became the executive vice president and chief commercial officer of the Cleveland Cavaliers, making her the first black woman to achieve this feat. Her position puts her in charge of ticket sales and sponsorship deals. 

“It’s mixed feelings because typically you get promoted like you said and you’re like wow, I worked hard and it’s been a 15-year career, it’s exciting, you celebrate with your family and friends and then this one you turn around and there’s a national buzz around it even up to global,” she told Clevaland19 when she was first promoted.
