On today’s episode, I’m talking to Major League Baseball’s Vice President of Club Business Operations and Strategy, Kate Hussmann, about networking for women in sports.

Before Kate crushed the sports world, she was considering opening a restaurant and even went to culinary school. When she was ready to change industries she was drawn to sports and found the teamwork and challenges she was looking for. Kate initially worked with the Charlotte Hornets in Corporate Social Responsibility before earning an MBA and moving into Strategy and Innovation. During the pandemic, she took advantage of remote work and moved to New York, fell in love with the city, and was able to find several opportunities before eventually making her way to becoming the Vice President of Club Business Operations and Strategy for Major League Baseball. 

We talk about:

The importance of betting on yourself. How Kate’s network helped get her into a career in sports and supported her along the way.The incredible work ethic that has helped Kate achieve incredible success on the team level with the Charlotte Hornets and now with the league level with Major League Baseball.
