Join us for a CBS Distinguished Speaker Series event featuring Cathy Engelbert, Commissioner of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Since stepping into the role in 2019, she has led the league’s business transformation, securing a historic player-first Collective Bargaining Agreement, raising $75 million in capital from outside investors to fuel expansion, and building a new economic framework to enhance league revenue and stakeholder success. Previously, as CEO of Deloitte, she led a workforce of over 100,000 and was the first woman to lead a Big Four firm. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a trailblazing leader shaping the future of sports and business. The discussion will be moderated by Adina Sterling, Katherine W. Phillips Associate Professor of Business in the Management Division.
