Episode 178: Nadia Rawlinson
Hello and welcome to the Women Leaders in Sports Podcast. I’m your host, Patti Phillips, CEO of Women Leaders in Sports. Today, I’m joined by Nadia Rawlinson, Co-Owner and Operating Chairman of the Chicago Sky. As the WNBA prepares to spotlight Chicago during All-Star Weekend, we're excited to sit down with one of the leaders helping drive that momentum. Nadia has built an extraordinary career spanning technology, media, entertainment, and financial services, with leadership roles at companies including Slack, Google, Live Nation, and American Express. A Stanford graduate and Harvard MBA, she also serves on several corporate and nonprofit boards while leading business operations, strategy, and government relations for the Chicago Sky. What makes Nadia especially compelling is her ability to speak the language of business while candidly sharing what it really takes to lead at the highest levels. In this episode, Nadia shares her unconventional journey into sports ownership, lessons on building high-performing cultures, and why great leaders prioritize action over perfection. Keep listening for more leadership insights from Nadia. And join us both in Chicago this October for the Women Leaders in Sports National Convention! We Are Women Leaders.
