Leaders Worth Knowing PodcastShow Notes
As the dust settles on the first day of the Summit at Stamford Bridge, James Emmett and David Cushnan gather their thoughts - and those of guests Shivs Thevarr, VP of Global Partnerships at the Milwaukee Bucks; Francois Westcombe, MD of Ticketmaster Sport EMEA; and Steve Gera, Former President, Grand Slam Track.
They reflect on some of the big themes to emerge across the stages and on the floor, including the leadership lessons coming out of LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil's morning session; Louise Young, F1's Chief Race Promotion Officer, on turning races into cultural and entertainment events; Kroenke Sports & Entertainment President Kevin Demoff on the shared performance cultures that can develop through multi-club ownership; and Francesca Bodie, President of Venezia FC, on the power of destination marketing, as she oversees a shiny new stadium for Venice.
