A force of momentum. A voice of purpose. A legacy still in motion.
In an industry defined by constant evolution, Marissa Solis hasn’t just kept up with change. She’s made change her medium.
As Senior Vice President of Global Brand and Consumer Marketing at the NFL, Marissa is leading one of the world’s most iconic brands into its next era. Her work is expanding the league’s global footprint while reshaping its identity to be more inclusive, more human, and more culturally fluent. She’s building emotional bridges between the NFL and the diverse communities it serves; bridges built on insight, empathy, and fearless creativity.
But Marissa’s brilliance began long before football.
With over 20 years of experience across powerhouse companies like Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo, she has architected campaigns that didn’t just perform. They connected. She brought purpose to the forefront of brand strategy before it was trendy. She made multicultural marketing a standard, not a side note. And she built teams, narratives, and movements that still echo through the industry today.
What sets Marissa apart isn’t just her résumé. It’s her rhythm.
She moves through the business world with a magnetic mix of clarity and conviction. She leads boldly, and never stops evolving. Her impact is measured not just in KPIs, but in the lives she’s touched, the doors she’s opened, and the possibilities she’s redefined.
This award is not a closing chapter. It’s a standing ovation for a legacy still being written. Because brilliance, when truly in motion, doesn’t peak. It pulses. It expands. It keeps lighting the path forward.
Congratulations, Marissa. You are not only a Lifetime Achiever; you are a living blueprint of what’s possible.
