The Rise of Women's Sports

With record-breaking attendance at games and viewership of televised games, the groundswell of enthusiasm for women’s sports has created a cultural movement. How should investors think about the opportunity in women’s sports, and how might the growth trajectory of the professional women’s leagues compare to the equivalent men’s leagues? In the final episode of a four-part series on the changing dynamics in the business of sports, host Nicole Pullen Ross discusses the business forces driving growth in women’s sports with Stacy Sonnenberg, Head of Global Sports Finance. Nicole is also joined by Willow Bay, Dean of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism and the new controlling owner of the National Women’s Soccer League’s Angel City FC. Bay shares her perspective on leading the most highly valued franchise in the league during this watershed moment for women’s sports. Nicole Pullen Ross is Head of Sports and Entertainment for Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management. She is also Head of the Private Wealth Management business for the New York region at Goldman Sachs.
