Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi Opens LA Clippers Season
Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi Kicks Off the LA Clippers’ Season Opener at Intuit Dome
Three years ago, Intuit made a long term commitment to create a one-of-a-kind partnership with the LA Clippers as they embarked on building a world-class arena, setting a new bar for what’s possible in sports and entertainment. LA Clippers owner, Steve Ballmer, president of operations, Gillian Zucker, and the LA Clippers had a vision for building a venue for incredible shared experiences, to watch world-class teams and performers, and for the community to gather.
Last night, Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi and Inglewood Mayor, James Butts, had the honor of delivering the official game ball to the referees at the inaugural season home opener for the LA Clippers at their new home arena, Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA. It was more than ceremonial; it was a declaration of Intuit’s ongoing commitment to the LA Clippers and the Inglewood, and greater Los Angeles communities.
It is an honor to partner with the LA Clippers and to see the first home opener game played at Intuit Dome,” said Sasan Goodarzi, CEO of Intuit. “Delivering the game ball to the referees, along with Mayor Butts was a moment of pride for me and for all of Intuit as we felt the energy of the fans and witnessed the vision of Intuit Dome come to life. Congratulations to the LA Clippers and all that brought Intuit Dome to life for generations to come.”
At Intuit, we believe in making a lasting impact, and our partnership with the LA Clippers extends beyond the court. It is about enriching the community and fostering growth through continuous and meaningful engagement and innovation.
From the start, we knew Intuit and the LA Clippers were the perfect combination to come together due to our shared beliefs: to be customer and fan-obsessed; to innovate on behalf of our customers and fans to provide unforgettable experiences; and to have an unwavering commitment to the community.
During the last three years, we watched this vision evolve from an empty lot to the amazing Intuit Dome that sets a new global standard for sports and entertainment venues. Every detail that went into Intuit Dome–from the community basketball courts on the plaza to the advanced technology throughout the arena–was to ensure an unmatched experience for every visitor.
The opening of Intuit Dome is just the beginning. We are excited about the future and the endless possibilities that our continued partnership will bring. Together, we will keep pushing boundaries and make a difference, ensuring Intuit Dome remains a symbol of progress and prosperity for the community, and a home for champions.
