Additionally, Palmer’s experience includes a tenure as a sports partnership manager at WMT from April 2019 to July 2020, where she was instrumental in managing and expanding sports-related partnerships. This role was preceded by her position as an account manager at Insight Global, where she was responsible for strategic partnership management in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area from August 2018 to April 2019.
