LAKE PLACID — The USA Bobsled/Skeleton Foundation announced last week that Jay Madan has joined its board.

Madan is an advisor, board member and operational executive with 30 years combined in management, consulting and C-suite operating experience in biotechnology, life sciences and software development industries.

Madan has been a serial entrepreneur, having managed, served on boards, invested in or founded companies in the international and domestic spheres. He currently serves on the board of Mobile Global Esports. He is also the co-owner of Kochi Packers, a team in the newly formed professional basketball league in India.

“I am honored to take on this board position at such an exciting time for USABSF as we head into this next Olympic cycle,” Madan said in a statement. “I look forward to contributing to further the board’s strategic mission and hope to help drive positive and enduring initiatives with beneficial impact for these incredible athletes and the organization as a whole. The courage and training these athletes require to competitively launch their single-rider skeletons headfirst with no brakes, and two to four-person bobsleds at great speed down the icy course is inspirational to me and I deeply hope that my efforts reflect highly upon their commitment.”

Madan currently serves as an advisor or board member to numerous organizations including Valorant Health, Mobile Global Esports and now USA Bobsled and Skeleton. He looks forward to helping further elevate the sports of bobsled and skeleton, and to support the athletes for many years to come.

“We are thrilled for Jay to join the board and add his entrepreneurial spirit and wealth of knowledge in working in a strategic capacity on several boards to our foundation efforts,” said Fran Kirley, chairman of the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Foundation. “As we look ahead to Milano Cortina 2026 and beyond, we are confident that the addition of Jay will support our efforts and mission significantly.”
