Alex Avellanet — Founder of Upright City, FIFA Licensed Women's Football Agent
Background

Alex Avellanet is a FIFA-licensed football agent, venture builder, and the founder of Upright City. Her work operates at the intersection of women's football, business development, media, and international opportunity creation.

Through Upright City, she represents women footballers across contract negotiations, transfers, sponsorship strategy, and long-term career development. She also advises clubs and stakeholders seeking to build credible and commercially sustainable women's football programs.

Beyond athlete representation, Alex builds ventures, partnerships, and commercial ecosystems across sports, media, and entertainment. She works with a select group of broadcasters, creators, executives, and emerging properties to develop brand-aligned opportunities.

Her advantage is a high-trust international network and the ability to move opportunities from introduction to execution. She does not simply participate in existing systems—she builds the relationships, structures, and platforms required to create new ones.
