Jerry Colangelo prides himself on being a storyteller.
“I have lots of stories,” says Colangelo, a partner in JDM Partners, a Phoenix-based real estate development company. “I should have lots of stories. I was around when nothing existed.”
Most of Colangelo’s stories stem from his time as one of the most influential sports executives in the world. He molded the Phoenix Suns into one of the most successful organizations in the NBA, helped bring Major League Baseball to the Valley in 1998 and served as managing general partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks and was instrumental in bringing the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes to the Valley.
