Ludus Tours has hired Sydney 2000 Olympian Erin Aldrich-Shean as Volleyball
Account Director. As the key representative to volleyball, Erin will be tasked
with ensuring the Ludus Tours model is developed within the entire sport,
member and fan base.
"I am extremely excited about joining the Ludus team. After devoting so
many years to the sports world as a dual-sport professional athlete and
Olympian, working at Ludus gives me the opportunity to transfer that passion
and excitement I had as an athlete into providing fans the experience of a
lifetime at all of our major events internationally. It’s easy to wake up in
the morning and go to work when you truly believe in the product you are
promoting," said Erin Aldrich-Shean, Volleyball Account Director.
Aldrich-Shean joins Ludus Tours with
nearly a decade of elite athletic experience. She competed at the 2000 Olympic
Games in Sydney, Australia, in the high jump and has spent a total of six years
playing volleyball both professionally and on the US National Team.
Aldrich-Shean also attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she was
named Big XII Athlete of the Year for her accomplishments in high jump and
volleyball. When a knee injury ended her professional volleyball season in
2008, Aldrich-Shean returned to Texas and earned her MBA.
"I remember seeing Erin compete as an athlete when she was still in high
school," Adam Dailey, CEO of Ludus Tours, said, "Having someone who
has her business savvy and her athletic accomplishments be part of our team
here is great."
"Erin's lifetime of commitment to the Volleyball community is exactly what
we look for in building our team," Corby Fisher, Vice President of Sales
and Marketing at Ludus Tours, said, "She represents the Ludus vision of
creating experiences that every friend, family and fan of volleyball will truly
cherish for a lifetime."
