President
Andrew Donovan has been one of the most influential voices in shaping the future of college athletics. Since joining Altius Sports Partners in 2021, and being elevated to President in September 2025, he has helped guide the industry through its most transformative era, driving new models of collaboration between schools, brands, and athletes.
Before becoming President, Andrew led Altius’ College Division, overseeing partnerships with more than 40 Division I programs, including nearly half of the Power Four. His leadership expanded Altius’ reach into brand partnerships with companies like Verizon and Powerade, positioning the firm at the center of the evolving college sports economy.
As President, Andrew oversees all school business and brand partnerships, steering Altius’ strategy across revenue generation, operational enhancement, stakeholder collaboration, and rule-change initiatives. His vision and leadership have transformed Altius from a fast-growing consultancy into an industry-leading force, reshaping how colleges and brands approach key challenges within the collegiate athletics landscape, including departmental revenue optimization and athlete licensing and NIL engagement.
Prior to joining Altius, Andrew served as Sr. Associate Athletics Director for Regulatory Affairs at Tennessee, where he managed compliance for 20 teams and launched one of the nation’s first NIL education programs. He also held compliance leadership roles at Marshall University and LSU.
