Kings COO Matina Kolokotronis Shares Her Story with SI

“Whatever your dream is, if you’re fearless, set goals, and take risks, you can achieve it.”

The words of Nancy Miller were instilled in Kings Chief Operating Officer Matina Kolokotronis immediately after law school. In a piece specially written for Sports Illustrated, Kolokotronis explains the challenges a woman faces “not only strengthen our own ability to lead—they inspire those around us.”

A call in 1996 from former Kings GM Geoff Petrie started Kolokotronis’ career with the organization, a call that would change her life and helped pave the way for women to break down barriers in sports.
