  • Jon J Franklin (aka "Jon Franklin") is a sports marketing and sports television business executive who is currently Chief Executive Officer of the revitalized World Pro Ski Tour and Chief Executive Officer of a now re-surging "Ski Racing Media", the world's foremost digital publication focused on alpine ski racing. The World Pro Ski Tour is the world's leading professional head to head dual format ski race tour. Ski Racing Media has for over 50 years been known as the "Bible of the Sport" for Alpine ski racing news. The World Pro Ski Tour was originally founded by Bob Beattie in 1969 with champions from Billy Kidd and Spider Sabich to Jean Claude Killy to Phil Mahre to Phil Brown (skier), the World Pro Ski Tour is dual ski racing in a single elimination format akin to drag racing on snow and is in expansion mode. For 2020 Franklin has brought Double Olympic Gold Medalist Ted Ligety onto the World Pro Ski Tour. Up to the challenge, Ted immediately jumped into the top ten of the standings. In the post COVID 2021/22 season over half a million $$ was given out in prize money and multiple Olympians jumped into the tour following the Olympics. Olympic silver medalist Linus Strausser and Olympian Paula Moltzan were crowned 2022 WPST World Champions in Taos, New Mexico. Franklin brought in sponsors such as Rocket Mortgage, Korbel and Seiko in 2022. Through the start of 2018, Franklin was CEO of Glory Sports International, the parent company of Glory Kickboxing that's seen on ESPN in the USA along with UFC Fightpass and Veronica/SBS Holland and others in more than 170 countries. Franklin began working with Glory in 2012 and joined full time as CEO in 2014. Under Franklin's leadership, Glory Kickboxing was named the World's Number One Kickboxing promotion for 2017 by Combat Press and as one of the World's most influential combat sports and martial arts promotions (along with Bellator and UFC) by Fox Sports the same year. Franklin continued at Glory as USA Promoter and Chief Development Officer in 2018 and early 2019. In this role he secured Monster Energy as Glory's first global sponsor. (en)
