Saquon Barkley has expanded his portfolio ahead of Super Bowl LIX, set for Feb. 9, 2025.
The running back, wearing a No. 26 Philadelphia Eagles jersey, is heading to New Orleans, LA, to face the Kansas City Chiefs — a rematch of the 2022 Super Bowl matchup, ESNP reports.
Barkley has combined his passion for sports and business and will be featured in a Super Bowl ad for Ramp, a financial operations platform that provides exclusive perks to over 30,000 customers.
These perks include smart accounts payable, which processes bills in seconds, corporate cards, vendor management, procurement, travel booking, and automated bookkeeping.
Customers have saved upwards of $2 billion through Ramp, CEO and Co-Founder Eric Glyman mentioned in a press release. For these reasons, Barkley is not only endorsing the company through the commercial but is now an investor in the platform, the press release reported.
“I’ve always believed a winning mindset applies to every part of life. If you want to dominate, you don’t switch off when the clock hits zero, and I demand that same intensity in my business ventures,” Barkley explained in the press release. “Ramp shares my obsession with speed and efficiency, helping teams move faster, spend smarter, and stay a step ahead of the competition. They’re a partner I want in my corner.”
Barkley’s investment is also his most significant investment in the private technology sector.
He added, “True partnership requires skin in the game. That’s why I invested in Ramp. I saw firsthand how they’re powering American businesses to cut costs and achieve a higher level of performance. That’s the kind of impact I want to be part of.”
Eric Glyman shared more about the partnership, stating:
“Seeing Saquon put his team’s playoff run ahead of an individual all-time rushing record was a masterclass in leadership. Ramp lives by the same playbook. We put our customers’ long-term success first, helping them spend less – even if that sometimes comes at the cost of our own short-term profit. It’s this long-term orientation that’s led us to grow faster than nearly anyone while delivering over $2 billion in savings for our customers. Our shared commitment to long-term value creation made Saquon a natural partner. We’re both in it for the long game.”
