National Basketball Association superstar Kevin Durant and business partner Rich Kleiman on Tuesday announced the launch of a new advisory firm under the duo's Boardroom media company.
The firm, Boardroom Advisory, will operate on a yearly fee structure and work with athletes as well as executives and brands on creating business and sports ownership opportunities, content and more, the company said in a press release.
"Boardroom Advisory is a natural extension of the brand, and is a way for us to bring our resources to other athletes."
The firm doesn't intend to compete with agencies and will work in tandem with athletes' preexisting representatives, a spokesperson for Boardroom said.
Durant is among a slew of superstar athletes to branch out in the sports media and entertainment world.
