Alex Freeman is currently serving as the Director of Sports Engagement at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), where he leverages the power of sports to promote inclusion, combat antisemitism, and address hate both on and off the field. With over eight years of experience in media, social strategy, and crisis communications, Alex seeks to build impactful partnerships with major sports leagues and organizations to fight antisemitism and hate.
In this role, Alex leads initiatives that connect ADL’s mission with global sports platforms. He oversees key collaborations with team and league partners, focusing on educational programs and resources designed to equip athletes, fans and professionals with the tools to counter hate in sports.
Before joining ADL, Alex oversaw the social media efforts at the American Jewish Committee, where he managed the social media presence and managed rapid response initiatives. His career began in broadcast journalism, working as a producer, covering major events like the Super Bowl and presidential debates.
The grandson of a Holocaust survivor and raised by sports-loving, Philadelphian parents, Alex is proud to bring together his lifelong love of sports and commitment to Jewish advocacy in his work every day.

The Summit unites the public and private sectors, domestic and international, against hate and extremism. Researchers, activists, lawyers, technology experts, political leaders, and more come together, each bringing their unique tools to the fight. Important relationships that were established at the Summit in 2021 have carried forward into working groups with concrete deliverables for 2022 and beyond.
