Gwinnett, GA. Embry Malone, CEO of the ABA's Gwinnett Gwizzlies professional basketball team today announced that Blake Britton-Birdsong has been named Senior Vice President of Operations.

She is a very talented person and will manage the day-to-day operations."
Malone continued, "Blake has a background as an accountant and handles all of the insurance needs for the Gwizzlies, and as much as anything, has a passion for basketball and is very knowledgable in running a sports franchise. She's a very strong addition to our management team."
