What does Aaron Donald's wife Erica do for a living? How is she connected to Kanye West's Donda Sports?
Aaron Donald has quickly established himself as one of the most dominant defensive players to ever grace the NFL. While the defensive tackle has made a name for himself thanks to his hard-hitting tackles, Donald's wife too has been making moves in the sports world.
Erica Donald works in sports marketing and met her husband thanks to her job. Back in 2015, a year after winning the NFL's rookie of the year award, Erica met Aaron Donald as she joined the then-St. Louis Rams to work in community affairs and player involvement.
The couple met and instantly hit it off, ultimately tying the knot last year. While Aaron Donald focused on solidifying his status as one of the league's elite pass rushers, Erica quietly climbed the corporate ranks.
According to her LinkedIn, Erica has previously served as the vice president of player partnerships for game1 and was also the interim chairwoman of the AD99 Solutions Foundation. She currently works as the marketing manager for her husband.
But while juggling the responsibility of being Donald's marketing manager, she was briefly involved with another sports management agency.
How is Aaron Donald's wife Erica connected to Kanye West's Donda Sports?
Kanye West has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. But before the iconic rapper found himself in the midst of controversy, he was looking to build his business empire further by delving into the world of sports.
Launching Donda Sports, West looked to make a strong first impression by signing Aaron Donald and NBA star Jaylen Brown. Erica too signed on as an executive at Donda back in May 2022.

But ever since the widespread backlash faced by West, Donald and his wife in a joint statement announced that they had severed all ties with Kanye's sports management firm. West made anti-Semitic comments which have resulted in Donda losing a number of athletes. The rapper himself has lost several notable sponsorship deals and has seen his net worth plummet.
