CORINNE MILIEN

About the Founder & CEO

Corinne Milien is a steadfast servant-leader with numerous experiences focusing on solutions to increase diversity and inclusion within the workforce and advance professional leadership opportunities for the underrepresented.

As founder of WRK, a talent sourcing firm specializing in connecting sports, media, and entertainment companies with a community of qualified talent, Corinne is driven to eliminate bias and barriers for those historically excluded from traditional hiring practices. In parallel to this role, Corinne is the co-founder of The Winning Edge Leadership Academy, a 501c3 organization empowering and elevating minority student-athletes and young professionals as the next generation of leaders in the sports, media and entertainment industry.

Corinne’s experience in sports started as a student assistant in the Bemidji State University athletic department then serving as a Graduate Assistant for the legendary Coach Pat Summit of The University of Tennessee before by working as an Events Supervisor for ESPN where she managed several of the company’s preeminently owned and operated athletic contests and events. She recently led the membership, partnership, and programming efforts for Pro Sports Assembly as Managing Director. In July 2022, Corinne was recognized by adidas, Impact Hub and Blavity.org as one of eight social entrepreneurs of color creating impact and delivering initiatives at the intersection of sport, equity and creativity for Black and Latinx communities.

Corinne is a veteran, having served honorably in the US Air Force before attending the United States Air Force Academy. She holds a B.A. (Bemidji State University) and M.A.degree in Sports Management from the University of Tennessee.

As the proud daughter of Haitian immigrants, Corinne stays true to her roots and maintains a relentless work ethic in all endeavors, consistently devoting her infectious energy towards “doing good” for others and ultimately paying it forward to level the playing field for all.

As part of our company wide diversity summit, Corinne came to talk to us about power dynamics. She paired her passion and energy with the ability to take people on a learning journey that doesn’t feel like we are back in school. The room was captivated by Corinne’s engaging style and content, she is an excellent facilitator.
It was the highlight of the day!

Corinne made such a positive impression as a facilitator at the SheLeads event. Her energy, enthusiasm, and passion clearly had a contagious effect on the audience, and her topic on leveraging LinkedIn and motivating attendees to take action is commendable. Corinne had the gift to connect with the audience authentically and empowered us to use our voices.

I had the privilege of seeing Corinne do some pretty amazing WRK at our annual DEI summit.

She is a gifted facilitator – engaging, humorous, insightful and most of all, impactful. She was able to make the uncomfortable comfortable, allowing attendees to look deep at implied bias, power structures and (mis)perceptions. Compelling dialogue followed, and she guided the group with ease so each attendee arrived at their own meaningful outcome. She left us better than she found us, with a renewed sense of awareness and an improved skill set for engaging with each other.

Kudos Corinne and thank you for the great session.
