Kiesha Nix
Kiesha Nix made history as the first Black woman to serve as the vice president of charitable affairs for the Lakers organization. The position made Nix one of the most powerful women in the sport of philanthropy
Before her current role, she had served as executive director for the Community Lakers Youth Foundation. And she got to know all about her new role from NBA legend Magic Johnson.
For 10 years, Nix and Johnson have partnered on a number of community events when she worked for Merrill Lynch and Bank of America. “I started out at the bottom of the totem pole almost 30 years ago as a project manager at Merrill Lynch, and by the time I left, I was negotiating contracts on behalf of Bank of America after the two institutions merged,” she told Sports Illustrated.
In addition, she was managing the investments for several CEOs and other high-net-worth clients and was comfortable in her official role as a financial advisor, according to Sports Illustrated.
