Empowering the Next Generation of High-Performance Leaders
iFOLIO Brand Ambassadors promote iFOLIO and learn to master high-performance digital marketing software with their own iFOLIO site.  Through this program, athletes learn to market a company, scale their personal influence, and build a sophisticated digital brand that serves them long after their competitive careers. 

Impact & Performance:
In its fifth year, the iFOLIO NIL Ambassadors are selected through a rigorous nationwide process evaluating over 1,000 athletes. These leaders were chosen for their athletic and academic records, their glass half-full mentality, focus on results (iFOLIO core values), and their digital footprint. 

While building their digital presence, iFOLIO NIL athletes have dominated on the national stage:

• 25 total standout Ambassadors from across the Power 4 conferences. 

• 5 Athletes competed in the 2026 WBB NCAA Tournament. 3 Elite Leaders reached the Volleyball Sweet Sixteen.

• 5 Athletes went professional. Bianca Bertolino - Volleyball, Tonie Morgan - Basketball, Kara Dunn  - Basketball, Cameron Schwartz - Basketball, Reese Hunter - Softball

The iFOLIO NIL Ambassadors have a national footprint, featuring standout athletes from the University of North Carolina, University of Kentucky, University of Iowa, University of Southern California, University of Pittsburgh, University of Georgia, and Georgia Tech.

The Foundation: Innovation
This groundbreaking initiative began as a strategic collaboration between iFOLIO Founder & CEO Jean Marie Richardson and legendary coach Nell Fortner. Driven by a commitment to help female student-athletes grow their influence beyond the court, iFOLIO equips ambassadors with professional marketing skills, a patented personal brand portfolio, and the digital infrastructure to secure high-value NIL opportunities.

The program has been praised by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) as “The way NIL is meant to be.” https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/4-yellow-jackets-nil-deal-with-atlanta-tech-firm-ifolio-what-nil-was-meant-to-be/

2026 Sales Ambassadors: In 2026, the initiative expanded to include the iFOLIO Sales Ambassador Program. This track offers business-oriented leaders the opportunity to join iFOLIO in innovating the future of digital marketing and communications. These ambassadors gain hands-on experience in enterprise engagement, preparing them for high-impact careers in the technology and business sectors.
