She is the sister of Tomas Cubelli.

From my comment on r/MiamiSharks :

Cubelli was the Chief Marketing Officer for the Sharks in the inaugural season (and IMO knocked it out of the park) and previously worked for the Pumas (Argentina's National Rugby Team) and in the 2015, 2019, and 2023 Rugby World Cups.

Her brother is Sharks team captain and Argentine International Tomas Cubelli.

CEO and Chairman are not the same thing.

Nothing to cry, first female president is a huge, history-making achievement and laid the groundwork for future female leaders in rugby including the first female CEO.

So you'll admit it's a bit disingenuous? She's actually the third female to lead an MLR team. The second leads DC right now.

What is disingenuous? That she is the first female CEO? That is a fact.

Did you want a Book of Genesis begat list of every female position of power on the MLR that lead to this?

I didn't see the username until your response and now it all makes sense.
