About Us
Athlete-founded.
Driven by heart.
Founded by former professional footballer Alfie Egan, Crossover Partners was built on experience — not theory.
We understand the challenges athletes face when stepping away from sport because we’ve lived them. That insight shapes everything we do. We offer tailored, forward-thinking support to help athletes transition into meaningful careers — and help businesses access high-performance talent shaped by resilience, focus, and drive. With empathy at our core and results in our sights, we’re here to make every move forward count.
