Carolyn Tisch Blodgett, co-owner of the New York Giants and y - Gotham FC, joined Jens Frederiksen, for the latest Sports Leadership Exchange Speaker Series, as part of the Frederiksen Forum, discussing innovation, culture, women’s sports, and preparing the next generation of sports industry leaders.
For Tisch Blodgett, the path to sports leadership was not as direct as she once expected. Her family became co-owners of the Giants when she was six years old, and she initially envisioned following a straightforward path toward eventually helping to run the team.
That path took her through marketing and advertising, , and pepsi, before she joined . Her experiences helped shape how she approaches branding, entrepreneurship, and organizational culture today.
The business of sports is changing rapidly, but she believes some important fundamentals remain the same: build something people care about, understand your audience, and create a strong community around it.
