global sport right now, and Victoire Cogevina Souki one of its most in-demand leaders.<\/h4>\n<p>Leaders in Focus is produced by Leaders in Sport, in partnership with IMG.<\/p>\n<p>The former agent and tech entrepreneur has this summer launched a fund with US$100 million to spend on women&#8217;s football clubs, in Europe and Latin America &#8211; with a mission to create a multi-club model that will supercharge the sport, and a team of experienced sports industry names, including Eni Aluko, Luis Vicente and Ebru K\u00f6ksal, around her.<\/p>\n<p>On this first episode of Leaders in Focus, Cogevina Souki sits down with Leaders&#8217; Laura McQueen and David Cushnan at IMG&#8217;s London studios, for a candid conversation in which she shares how her passion for football began; the mission underpinning Mercury\/13; her thesis on women&#8217;s football and its potential; the multi-club investment plan and why it&#8217;s a model built for women; and her own approach to decision-making and assessing risk.<\/p>\n<p>You can also listen to the podcast version below, and subscribe today on <a
