CovQ® partners with the Greenwich Polo Club as an Associate Sponsor for the 2026 season.

“We are pleased to welcome CovQ as an innovative Associate Sponsor for the 2026 season and look forward to working together throughout the season.”

Harlan Zeerip, Director of Marketing & Events, Greenwich Polo Club

Few sports combine strategy, adaptability, teamwork, and execution quite like polo. Unlike many competitive sports, success depends not only on the individual and team but also on the partnership between player and horse. Conditions change, the field evolves, and momentum can shift so that even the most talented players cannot control every variable. Success requires judgment, coordination, orchestration, a game plan, and the ability to perform under uncertainty at any given time.

These characteristics resonate with the realities of business leadership. Organizations operate in dynamic environments where information is incomplete or disconnected, circumstances evolve, and sustained performance depends on making better decisions and executing effectively over time.

At CovQ, short for Compound Value Creator Quotient, this process starts with a fundamental question: What if you knew your Corporate IQ? The ability of an organization to bring together intelligence, align strategy, and execute consistently determines whether value slips or  compounds over time.

Throughout the season, this question will be woven into the Greenwich Polo Club experience through on-site activations, digital content, the venue’s LED Video Board, and a hosted edition of The Compounding Loft: Polo Dynamics at the grounds.

Ralf Hirt CEO & Founder - CovQ by 8W8
Chief Executive Officer and founder, Ralf Hirt, launched CovQ by 8W8 with a vision to empower business owners, management teams, partners, and investors to achieve their full potential and create compound value. Ralf brings extensive experience from diverse roles across volatile phases in the tech, marketing, and commerce industries, holding operational executive positions worldwide, including Hong Kong/China, Sydney/Australia, London/UK, Munich/Germany, and New York City since 2005. Throughout his career, Ralf has driven growth for tech companies such as Harri, TUNE (acquired by Branch & Constellation Software), MODE, DoubleClick (acquired by Google), fit CRM (acquired by Omnicom), in addition to advising Prion Group from inception to successful sale to Accenture. A 'fun fact': Ralf's global experiences inspired the creation of 8W8, the 'New World Modelling Engine,' introduced in his fiction work "8W8 – Global Space Tribes" in 2007 and expanded in summer 2020. With a background spanning companies of various sizes and mentoring dozens of tech businesses, Ralf consolidated his learnings into CovQ by 8W8 leading to the development of the CovQ Value Creation OS and the briefing paper 'Mastering Value Creation by Centering Strategy and Execution' produced by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services in association with CovQ by 8W8.
