Shelly Cayette-Weston is a people person by nature. It’s part of her fabric.

“I think my strength really centers around relationships and that’s the start of it,” said Cayette-Weston, who was announced as the Charlotte Hornets’ new president of business operations on Monday. “And I think that Charlotte is a great market for that, to continue expanding on the great relationships that wehave already and continue to build on in this market. I think from a strategic standpoint, I’ve been able to create consistent success in Cleveland.”

She constantly brought it up during the interview process with co-owners Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin, ensuring they were fully aware of her lengthy track record.
