The global strategic communications advisory firm TrailRunner International today announced the hiring of Jamie Zaninovich, a college sports veteran with three decades of experience, as a Managing Director to help TrailRunner build its growing sports business.
Prior to joining TrailRunner, Zaninovich served as Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer of the Pac-12.
