"I always known him to be a big thinker," said Litz, who worked for the CFL until 2019 with her last position as chief marketing, digital and strategy officer."He had big ambitions for the CFL that were achieved while he was there … And he was like that at the Junos board as well, really pushing us constantly — as a board and with management there — to think as big we could. So I know he's going to do this here and I love that.
The NSL says Cohon"will support the league’s board of directors on several key initiatives, including economic growth, expansion initiatives, international competition, player welfare and promoting inclusivity.""The entrepreneurial nature of building a league, doing something that's important for Canada was, No. 1, really exciting for me," he added.
He has spent the last eight years as chair and partner at the Georgian Bay Spirit Company and served as chair of Toronto Global, which assists international companies exploring business opportunities in the Toronto area since November 2016.
