Since retiring from the NFL, it seems that Tom Brady is busier than ever. In the last few months he has invested in several professional sports teams,
is running his TB12 brand and is gearing up for a $375 million role with FOX next year.
On Wednesday, Brady's newest career endeavor took off, literally. Brady, who has a net worth of $300 million, has partnered with Delta Airlines.
He will be a strategic adviser for the company. He and Delta CEO Ed Bastian announced the news together. Delta Airlines will use Brady's qualities as a successful leader to help grow the brand.
“I am grateful to be joining the Delta family, a company I have loved and respected for years," Tom Brady said.
"Growing up with a mother as a flight attendant, I have always admired the people that make seamless air transportation possible.
Throughout my career, my teammates and I flew Delta countless times, spending hours traveling for some of the most important games of our lives, even celebrating Super Bowl wins on the plane.
"Those championship teams were built off of great leadership and a commitment to excellence, and Delta certainly shares those qualities.
Now, alongside Ed and the Delta team, I look forward to playing my part to continue the company’s success.”
Tom Brady will have input on employee training and teamwork exercises.
He will also be involved in Delta's brand marketing and customer engagement. Brady's role as a community ambassador will essentially make him the face of the brand.
