Deloitte has partnered with tennis legend and leadership advocate Billie Jean King to strengthen the infrastructure and leadership pipeline in women’s sports, aiming to turn athletic development into a pathway for future business leaders.
The collaboration, announced at the “Power of Women’s Sports Summit” in New York on September 1, 2026, will focus on three areas: growing leaders through sport, advancing the business side of women’s sports, and connecting key players across the ecosystem. Initiatives planned over the coming year include programs to help athletes transition into leadership roles, develop more qualified (especially female) coaches, improve sports science research focused on women, and build the commercial foundations needed to sustain growth in women’s sports.
