Leaders in Conversation is a series that puts you in the room, fly-on-the-wall style, for a discussion between the most influential leaders in sports and media. Our second episode is with Jo Osborne and Kelly Simmons in a moderated conversation led by Sue Anstiss.<\/p>\n

Jo Osborne has worked in television production for two decades, the entirety of which she has spent at Sky Sports. She assumed the role of Executive Producer in June 2021, and throughout the duration of her career has been committed to increasing the visibility of women\u2019s sport.<\/p>\n

Kelly Simmons took up the new role of Director of the Women\u2019s Professional Game in September 2018 to help deliver and transform professional women\u2019s football in England. Simmons was previously The FA Director of Participation and Development, overseeing the implementation of a \u00a3200m four year investment programme into children\u2019s and grassroots football.<\/p>\n

Sue Anstiss worked in sports marketing and sports PR for over 30 years, delivering highly successful campaigns to get more women and girls talking part in sport and physical activity. In 2020, Anstiss established Fearless Women, a company with powerful ambition to drive positive change for women\u2019s sport.<\/p>\n

In this discussion recorded as part of\u00a0October\u2019s\u00a0Leaders Week\u00a0London as a session titled \u2018To What Extent Should Women\u2019s Sport Replicate The Men\u2019s Sports Commercial And Broadcasting Template?\u2019, the three leaders discuss finding and targeting new fans for women\u2019s sport, building new formats, and the importance of criticism as part of broadcast coverage. The session coincided with the launch of our Special Report, which was produced in partnership with Sky and centered around the women\u2019s sports landscape in the post-pandemic era.<\/p>\n
