It is the latter nation which, over the last two years, has become the springboard from which Roc Nation have made significant strides into rugby union, culminating in a left-field strategic partnership with the new-look URC.
Yormark was on hand to watch Chelsea’s Roc Nation client score the winning goal in their Champions League clash with Zenit at nearby Stamford Bridge last Tuesday but his prior weeks were split mostly between England, Italy and South Africa. These days, he primarily operates from the company’s London offices which he opened in the autumn of 2019 - a plunge partly inspired by Romelu Lukaku, conversations with whom convinced Yormark to expand Roc Nation’s interests into European football. It’s 6:30am on his media assistant’s watch but Yormark, who heads the global sports arm of Jay Z’s entertainment and management firm Roc Nation, made the switch across the Atlantic from New York two years ago. WHEN MICHAEL YORMARK tells you, “Thank God it’s Friday”, you’re inclined to believe he really means it.Įven pinning him down to a one-on-one interview has taken the guts of three weeks and a 40-something-email thread with his team, one of whom schedules Yormark’s rare media gigs and introduces him on Zoom on a Friday, a week out from kick-off in the inaugural United Rugby Championship (URC).
