Alicia Pratt, Golden State Warriors, Chase Center
Alicia Pratt
Senior Operations Manager
Golden State Warriors, Chase Center
As a semi-seasoned professional within the Sport and Entertainment world, Alicia D. Pratt has a very unique and different background. As a female who grew up in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia she was deeply immersed in the mixture of Saudi and American culture at a very young age. Growing up within the Saudi Aramco Community - Sports, Recreation, and Culture played vital roles in her upbringing. The ideas of a small organization of recreation community management services grew to develop a passion which became a vision of a career path at a very young age.
Alicia D. Pratt began her career working in community organized sports in Saudi Aramco. Her love for sport and passion to help people began as a community umpire at the age of 12 and developing and supporting the annual Summer Splash programs at 14 as a returning student, as well as served as a community services management representative post college for various camp facilities. She knew sport and environment were closely tied together and the impact of sport influence within a common ground provides a universal experience from the moment of initial interaction – no matter what the theme, environment or method present.
Pratt is a graduate of Menlo College with a BS in Business Management with a concentration in Sport Management, as well as an Alum of Notre Dame de Namur Master’s Program for Business Administration with studies in Human Resources Management and Marketing. Post her Master’s Program, Alicia was provided an opportunity to work for the San Francisco Forty-Niners at Candlestick Park, unsought of knowledge that Levi’s Stadium was opening one-year post her hire date – the creative side of her professional career truly began to unfold and in July of 2014 the adventure began. The beautiful real-estate of Levi’s Stadium, the State-of-the-Art Facility, is located in the heart of Silicon Valley in the beautiful City of Santa Clara. Through Pratt’s time at Levi’s Stadium she assisted in operating the stadium through numerous unforgettable events such as NHL Stadium Series 2015, Super Bowl 50, and the 2019 College Football Playoff Championship Game among numerous other events that have brought millions of guests through the gates to experience a world class facility. Post Levi’s Stadium Management, Pratt currently supports the Arena Operations team for Chase Center within Thrive City in San Francisco, California for the Golden State Warriors. Currently only being less than 4 months old, Chase Center within Thrive City has immersed a new environment for the Mission Bay area with restaurant, retail, and entertainment.
With the deep love of sport and education, Alicia during her off time from opening new sport venues and operating facilities, empathizes in pursuing her dream of developing sport structure and programs for women’s sports for the people who helped raise her back home. But most importantly, above all else, loves Traveling and Family.

Founder, CTO
CarmaCam, Inc.
Doug Rosenberg has been a thought-leader in software engineering for more than 3 decades, including being the author of 8 books on software engineering. His most recent book, Parallel Agile - Faster Delivery, Fewer Defects, Lower Cost is currently in the final stages of production.
Doug decided to build CarmaCam (www.carma-cam.com) in 2016 after being cut off on the freeway one time too many, and decided that this mission was vitally important after learning of the horrific traffic accident statistics (a fatality every 15 minutes and an injury every 15 seconds in the US alone).
CarmaCam brings the power of crowdsourcing to bear on the problem of traffic safety using low-cost hardware and free-to-use mobile apps to capture video of traffic incidents. During the past few years CarmaCam's scope has expanded to include emergency alert reporting (with an initial focus on DUI), bus lane enforcement and general parking violations, including automatic citation generation. Additionally we're applying artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to verify and sanity check incident reports.
