Try to find a picture of Irina Pavlova, I dare you. If my mad Google skills couldn’t suss it out, it doesn’t exist. The new owner of the New Jersey Nets, Russian Mikhail Prokhorov, has appointed Irina Pavlova as president of the company that will oversee his ownership of the Nets and their new stadium he’s building.
“She will work closely with the management structure of the Nets to create all conditions necessary for successful development of the team,” he said.
But who is she? Well, she has an MBA from Stanford. She worked for Google, and before that for Prudential. She’s fluent in Russian, English and Spanish. She has lived in the U.S. for over 10 years, and is the daughter of a Soviet diplomat who grew up in Moscow and Washington. She also has apparently never been photographed!
I want to know what she looks like! Especially what she looks like in a New Jersey Nets shirt, because according to her boss, going to games will be part of her job.
