Analysis
Sagamore Ventures, the private investment firm founded by Kevin Plank, has appointed Greg Resh as its new Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Resh brings nearly two decades of financial leadership experience, most recently serving as COO and CFO of the Washington Commanders, where he managed complex financial and operational strategies.
In his new role, Resh will lead all financial operations across Sagamore Ventures’ diverse and expanding portfolio, which includes commercial real estate, hospitality, consumer brands, food and beverage, and venture capital investments. He will collaborate closely with Kevin Plank and COO Jen Smith to shape the firm’s strategic financial direction.
A central project within the portfolio is the transformative Port Covington redevelopment in Baltimore, a multi-billion-dollar urban revitalization initiative now known as Baltimore Peninsula. The project spans over 200 acres and is envisioned to include residential units, office space, retail, parks, and waterfront access, aiming to reshape the city’s southern gateway.
Beyond real estate, Sagamore Ventures has strategically backed a number of innovative startups and consumer-focused businesses. This includes early-stage investments through its venture arm, supporting companies in technology, wellness, and consumer products. The family office has shown a particular interest in Baltimore-based businesses, aligning its investment thesis with regional economic growth and job creation.
Notable investments include:
-
Rye Street Tavern and Sagittarius Spirits, part of Plank’s Sagamore Spirit distillery operations, which have become anchor attractions in Baltimore’s waterfront development.
-
Participation in growth capital rounds for promising startups in the mid-Atlantic region.
-
Backing of Thoroughbred racing and training facilities, including Sagamore Farm, formerly a horse racing operation and now a location for new strategic ventures.
