Carolina Ascent FC hired Margaret Gramann as president of business operations

The Carolina Ascent has hired Margaret Gramann as president of business operations. 

A longtime Charlotte business executive, Gramann brings C-suite experience to the job as venture capital board advisor and launched start-ups at public, private, and private equity-backed companies. She will lead Ascent’s business operations and revenue generation, which includes sales, marketing, communications, broadcasting and human resources.  

“It’s an honor to join a team and organization that has achieved incredible success so early in its tenure,” Gramann said in a statement. “As a fan-first president, I am committed to empowering women by elevating their Carolina voices, supporting their businesses, and building a fan and partner ecosystem that fuels Carolina Ascent’s success on and off the pitch.”

Gramann, who was chief commercial officer at Crenshaw Associates before joining the Ascent, is founder of Ascend Astute, a consulting practice that supports post-collegiate and professional athletes in career transition.

“Carolina Ascent is entering a new phase - one that requires scaling our business with the same intensity we’ve brought to building a winning team on the field,” Ascent owner Dan DiMicco said. “Margaret is exactly the kind of leader you bring in at that moment. She has led complex, high-growth organizations, and she understands how to translate momentum into long-term value.” 

The Ascent clinched its second straight Gainbridge Super League playoff berth. Their next home game is the May 16 regular season finale May 16.
