Roswell Rotary is pleased to welcome Colleen Craig, a leader whose career spans elite athletics, high‑growth entrepreneurship, and senior leadership roles in major healthcare and financial organizations. Today, she is best known as the co‑founder and CEO of Rally Volleyball and the majority owner of the Atlanta Vibe, Atlanta’s professional women’s volleyball team in the Pro Volleyball Federation.

Colleen’s journey began on the courts and fields of Cornell University, where she competed as a Division I dual‑sport athlete, a middle hitter in Volleyball and a heptathlete in Track & Field. Her competitive drive and discipline carried her to Harvard Business School, where she earned her MBA and shifted her focus to building and scaling successful businesses. Her professional career reflects a rare combination of entrepreneurial and executive leadership. Colleen has played integral roles in the growth of several high‑performing companies across healthcare and finance, serving as CFO, COO, Head of Strategy, and Head of Business Development. Her work includes:

• Founder & COO, Ardea Capital Management, a global hedge fund based in New York
• Head of Strategy, Soros Fund Management
• Partner & CFO, ValorBridge Partners, contributing to the development of ApolloMD into one of the largest healthcare companies in the U.S.
• Earlier leadership roles with ChasePaymentech and Accenture Consulting

In addition to her executive career, Colleen has been a driving force in advancing the sport she loves, volleyball. Through Rally Sports Management, she has spent more than a decade building volleyball events, partnerships, and growth initiatives across regions and demographics. Her leadership extends to the national stage through board service with:

• First Point Volleyball Foundation
• Southern Region Volleyball Association
• Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce

As majority owner of the Atlanta Vibe, Colleen is helping shape the future of professional women’s volleyball. She is passionate about the sport’s rapid growth, the power of positive culture, and the importance of effort, attitude, and intentionality, principles she often describes as foundational to both athletic and business success.

Colleen resides in Atlanta with her husband, Kelly, whom she met at a King/Queen volleyball tournament and is the proud mother of three sons: Dylan, Luke, and Evan. Her commitment to growing volleyball includes partnerships with organizations such as LakePoint Sporting Community, envisioned to become the world’s largest sports complex.

We look forward to hearing Colleen share her remarkable journey, her insights on building winning teams, and her vision for the future of women’s sports and professional volleyball.
