Speaker Bio
Tahira has been serving as the Director, Premium Service for the Las Vegas Raiders since February 2023. Her leadership experience began with Elevate Sports Ventures as Director, Ticket Sales & Experience with the XFL Seattle Dragons. Soon thereafter she became the Director, Ticket Sales, and Operations for Dover Motor Sports where she oversaw the infamous Monster Mile and Nashville Superspeedway under the NASCAR umbrella. She would then join the WNBA as the Senior Director, Ticket Sales and Service with the Dallas Wings while simultaneously holding the same role for Panther City Lacrosse Club with the National Lacrosse League. Prior to holding leadership roles Tahira started her career volunteering and working part time in the MLS before landing her first full time role in Inside Sales with the Atlanta Hawks.
During her career journey Tahira has received an NFL Best Practice recognition with the San Francisco 49ers, where she created and implemented successful prospecting events, including previously untapped access into the player locker room, and earning $500K in unplanned revenue. She created and implemented the program that earned Nashville Superspeedway the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Award through her work with local black owned businesses and HBCUs. In addition, she was responsible for selling out the first Cup Series Race in Middle Tennessee in 40 years and led the highest grossing revenue team in the XFL in 2020.

Before joining the sports industry, Tahira was part of the top 1% of service professionals in the world as a Learning Coach with the Ritz Carlton. Here she trained other employees on the integrity of the brand and its world class white glove service. This and other positions in her past have contributed to the fast pace at which her sports career has grown. If you ask her, she will say it was nothing but hard work, and an unwavering grind mentality, characteristics she attributes to being a daughter of immigrants and a first generation American.
