On today’s episode, Patti speaks with Val Ackerman, commissioner
at the Big East Conference and a true trailblazer in the business
of sports.
Val is one of the very few people to hold leadership positions in
both men’s and women’s sports at the collegiate, professional,
national and international levels – a truly remarkable leader!
Throughout her career, Val was no stranger to being the only woman
in the room – from her time in a New York City law firm to the NBA
and even now as the Commissioner of the Big East, Val has
thoughtfully and strategically navigated the male dominated
industry of sports by building quality relationships and doing
great work to prepare her for the next opportunity.
Be prepared to take notes as Val describes the “5 ingredients for
promoting a successful sports property” and tips she gives for
being successful in a variety of different leadership
positions.
