Dennis Sprenkle
Chief Administrative Officer, Quantum
Dennis has over 15-years of experience in human capital management spanning across multiple industries and verticals, including 8-plus years in the sports and entertainment industry. Dennis has been integral to the successful launches of two recent Major League Soccer franchises, Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC, as well as the Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League. He has a proven record of building high performing teams in business and sporting areas.
During the four and a half years spent at Orlando City SC, he developed and oversaw all HR functions, including but not limited to talent management, recruitment, payroll, org design, benefits administration and employee engagement for Orlando City SC, Orlando Pride and Exploria Stadium. During his tenure, the club achieved numerous attendance records in men's and women's soccer, as well as helped to shape an award-winning employee culture.
Subsequently, Dennis was hired in 2018 as the third employee at Inter Miami CF. While at Inter Miami CF, he helped lay the foundation for the club, establishing and developing the HR and administrative functions from the ground up. As a trusted business leader, he also participated in the negotiation, evaluation and selection processes for key agency partners, vendors and service providers, while also managing the organization's ever-changing demands through the complex and unforeseen Covid-19 pandemic.
Before joining the sports and entertainment industry, Dennis spent numerous years working in human capital management, supporting Fortune 2000 companies, government contractors and the federal government. He has directed teams responsible for permanent, contract and contract-to-hire positions in finance, accounting, sales, IT, operations and marketing areas, among several others.
