Athlete Partnerships & Growth Manager

Born in Nigeria and raised in Charlotte, I grew up around sports and competition, playing volleyball and running track before attending East Carolina University. I started my career with the Charlotte Hornets, where I built a strong foundation in client experience and revenue generation. Now, I lead athlete partnerships and growth for Melo Munchies and DRNX, driving brand collaborations, activations, and expansion at the intersection of sports and culture. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking, going to basketball and football games, fashion and styling people.

DeAngelo Jacobs

Athlete Marketing and Sales Executive 

deangelo@melosmunchie.com

Athlete Marketing & Sales Executive From Orangeburg, South Carolina, and former Division 1 track & field athlete. Before joining Melo Munchies, I built my foundation in sales and marketing within the NBA, working with the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets, and gaining experience in NIL and sports marketing along the way.

Now, I’m focused on growing Melo Munchies and DRNX through sales, marketing, and strategic partnerships, basically turning good ideas into real opportunities and making sure they make money and grow our brand.

Outside of work, I’m always on the hunt for good food, good music, and balance it all with being a dad.

T'yanna Angeline 

Director of Communications & Brand Strategy

tyanna@melosmunchie.com

 Head of Communications & Marketing, which is a polished way of saying I make things look good, sound good, and actually run on time. I specialize in public relations, social media, and the behind the scenes logistics that keep everything moving, because a great brand isn’t just what people see, it’s how smoothly everything comes together.

I’m from Detroit, Michigan, spent my high school years in Georgia, and now live in New York City, so I’ve picked up a little bit of hustle, a little bit of Southern grounding, and a lot of NYC pace along the way. That mix shows up in how I work, fast-moving, adaptable, and always thinking a few steps ahead.

I’ve always had a natural eye for storytelling and strategy, whether it’s building a brand voice, creating content that connects, or making sure the details don’t fall apart when it matters most. One minute I’m mapping out a campaign, the next I’m coordinating the chaos to make sure it actually happens and looks effortless while doing it.
