Carolyn Tisch Blodgett
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Tisch Blodgett reads as a Visionary through her explicit framing of Gotham FC as a category-creation project, not merely a winning team but the first women's sports franchise to achieve global brand status. Her move to Etihad Park, the Queen's Classic gambit, and signing Sam Kerr all reflect a leader who builds from an imagined future backward, tolerating present-day uncertainty to collapse a structural ceiling on women's professional sports.
“There's no professional women's team that is really a global brand. Our goal is to be that first team.”
“To get a stadium almost full of thirty-eight to forty-two thousand people all watching a women's professional soccer game — it's a bit of a pinch me moment when it happens.”
“We have to match the ambition of our on the soccer side with the business team and to play in the greatest sports city in the world, in one of the most beautiful venues that will ever exist.”
