The competition has continuously evolved and adapted since its inception, and it'll follow a new format for 2024/25. Marketing Director Guy Laurent Epstein joined James Emmett and David Cushnan earlier this week to help explain the revamped competition, partner reactions to those changes, and the challenge of innovating in the beautiful game.

The WTA, founded by Billie Jean King in 1973, was created on the principle of equal opportunity: to elevate the profile of women's tennis and to accelerate the commercial growth of the game. It's a mission that still rings true 50 years on, and in 2023, the organisation announced the formation of 'WTA Ventures' as its dedicated commercial entity designed to propel women's tennis further forward. CEO Marina S. (Storti) joined David Cushnan and James Emmett on the latest Leaders in Focus to explain the success metrics for WTA Ventures and how she plans to lead the organisation in an exciting new era.

Two questions that Lindsay Mintenko, the first female executive and first athlete to head up USA Swimming's national team division, was well placed to answer on the latest Leaders Performance Podcast.
