What does the future hold for the fans of women's sport? I find out in this conversation with Angela Ruggiero - a four-time Olympian, and Gold Medallist in ice hockey, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2015 with the longest career of any man or woman in a USA hockey jersey.
With an MBA from Harvard Business School, Angela's held leadership positions at the highest levels of global sport including the executive board of the International Olympic Committee and Chief Strategy Officer for LA’s successful 2028 Olympic bid.
Listed in ‘Forbes 25 most powerful women in sport’, Angela is Co-Founder and CEO of the Sports Innovation Lab, a fan intelligence and market research firm.
She's also an incredible advocate for gender equality.
