TurnkeyZRG was born in sports and entertainment. We ran sports and entertainment businesses before we became executive recruiters. Our hands-on experience in the field, combined with 25 years in executive search, allow us to uniquely understand your roles and culture. While our placements mostly work within the team and league space, our placements often come from other industries. Whether you are looking for someone with exact experience in our world, or someone who will have a fresh take on your business, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve placed people across every business department there is, including sales, marketing, finance, HR, legal, operations, and many more. Our extensive and current work in this space allows us to start your search “on second base.”

Sports & Entertainment is led by Len Perna. Since 1996, Len Perna has been the Founder, Chairman & CEO of TurnkeyZRG.  Len has 30+ years’ experience in the sports and entertainment industry, with senior level management experience in sales, event marketing and management, sponsorships, venue feasibility and development, facility operations, licensing and legal affairs.

Since founding Turnkey, Len Perna has successfully managed over 1,400 executive searches. He quickly established TurnkeyZRG as a leader in the space, known for its professionalism, confidentiality, and tremendous hires. Len Perna is an expert at understanding organizational culture, fit, and blending personalities. He regularly presents at sports awards ceremonies and speaks at industry conferences.
