Hello and welcome to the Women Leaders in Sports Podcast. I’m your host, Patti Phillips, CEO of Women Leaders in Sports.
As Kansas City prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Pam Kramer, CEO of KC-2026, is leading the charge. With six matches and hundreds of thousands of visitors expected, she shares what it takes to lead at this scale – offering us a behind-the-scenes look at the strategy, coordination, and vision required.
Pam brings deep experience in sports, sponsorship, and major event execution to this massive role.
From global execution to authentic leadership, this conversation is packed with insight you won’t want to miss. We also dive into the power of relationships and what it takes to lead under pressure.
