As the Golden State Warriors’ first Director of Public Affairs, Theo played a pivotal role in bringing the team and its $1.2 billion Chase Center to San Francisco. Leading government relations and community engagement, he built a coalition of more than 30,000 residents, neighborhood groups, unions, and businesses, and secured approvals from 14 public agencies.

His leadership not only delivered a world-class arena but generated extraordinary community benefits, and more than 3,000 construction and permanent good-paying jobs, alongside millions of dollars in workforce development, small business investment, public transit improvements, and educational programs—expanding opportunity in San Francisco’s southeast neighborhoods.
