In 2011, to honor Women in Sports Business the Sports Business Journal created Game Changers to “tell the stories of women in the sports business – women with broad deep and varied responsibilities and oversight who contribute to the success of the industry in multiple ways.” These women are progressive, leaders, innovators, trailblazers and change agents representing every sector of sport business.
The 2020 class of Game Changer Honorees is the 10th class since the inaugural class, now at 392 honorees in total. This year 50 dynamic, successful and well deserving women are being honored by the Sports Business Journal. Some names may be familiar, while others you may be seeing for the first time, however, these women are the charging forces that will continue to change the sports business world now and for years to come.
We are excited to celebrate these amazing women and honorees for the Sports Business Journal 2020 Class of Game Changers: Women in Sports Business.
