In an NFL memo Adam Schefter posted at 3:56 p.m. PST on Saturday afternoon, we learned that Neeru Khosla will officially serve as the Seattle Seahawks new controlling owner after the franchise’s recent sale to the Khosla family and several limited partners.The memo also mentions her husband Vinod, the tech investor who holds a net worth of over $13.7 billion, who’s been the main name reported as the buyer of the Seahawks. According to The Hindustan Times, he’s the world’s 217th richest person. It says Neeru is an educator and entrepreneur, She has experience on the West Coast, having attended two of it’s biggest universities in Stanford and San Jose State, earning a master’s degree in molecular biology and studying gene expression.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe memo specifically mentions “Neeru Khosla, who would serve as the controlling owner,” meaning the Seahawks will have a second straight female owner in row after Jody Allen. In seven years since her father Paul passed away in 2018, Jody allowed John Schneider, Pete Carroll and Mike Macdonald to advance the franchise, ensuring they would receive any help possible from ownership to see their vision through on the field. It’d be fascinating to know what advice Allen might share with Khosla, but there’s plenty of hope the latter will learn from the former’s approach of favoring the football operations and seeing the business thrive as a result.This article originally appeared on Seahawks Wire: Neeru Khosla to serve as Seattle Seahawks controlling owner
