At Live Nation, Chris's primary responsibility was to build successful sponsorship platforms across Live Nation's primary assets, which included venues (69 venues), major concert promotion, as well as theatrical, motorsports and custom programming.

Chris's naming rights and sales representation experience was honed while working for The Bonham Group, one of the most respected naming rights companies in the U.S. As Vice President of Sales for The Bonham Group, Chris was hired to build and launch The Bonham Group's sponsorship sales division. In this role, Foy led and executed all national sales campaigns, including naming rights sales campaigns for the Columbus Crew, Phoenix Coyotes, Golden State Warriors, Kroenke Sports Enterprises, University of Miami, New Orleans Hornets and Seattle Seahawks.
