Manage episode 514676137 series 3531745
A recognised leader in global sport innovation, Lucy has spent over 20 years driving change, from the grassroots in Ghana to the boardrooms of FC Barcelona.
At READY, Lucy’s guiding some of the most ambitious federations, leagues, and investors on how to adopt technology responsibly, blending innovation with inclusion. Her Women’s Sport 2035 Vision is already inspiring a new generation of leaders to build a more connected, data-smart and human future for the game.
She’s delivered FIFA World Cup legacy programmes, directed women’s football at Right to Dream, and now leads Ready Sport Global (READY), a consultancy redefining how digital transformation and AI can empower people, teams and communities across sport.
In this episode:
💡 Why “the tool isn’t the strategy” and what true digital readiness looks like
💡 How executive vision defines whether transformation succeeds or fails
💡 Why women’s sport has the agility to leapfrog legacy systems
💡 How AI can help create safer, more inclusive online communities

Lucy is also a lecturer, keynote speaker, and award-winning educator — recently recognised with the Everything in Sport Award (2023) for outstanding contributions to emerging-tech education in women’s sport.
