The Business of Sport - Hilary Wells

Hilary Wells - Chief HR Officer, Chief HR Officer, Sony Sports Businesses, Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd, Beyond Sports & Pulselive

Hilary on ED&I:

"ED&I is huge on our agenda, not only for me and my team from an HR perspective, but its an expectation from the employment market that we are "on point" when it comes to ED&I, as well as sustainability, environment, community – all those social impact aspects that are really important to us.

There's more work to do, but we have done quite a lot of work already, ensuring that we have got ED&I in our job descriptions to make sure that we are attracting the right balance, making sure that we are not being discriminatory and having unconscious biases."

Hilary on Sports Integrity:

"It is a huge responsibility for our business, that puts ourselves up as the lead in sports tech for officiating purposes. For us, we just do what we need to do in order to make sure that the data that's provided to our partners is 100% accurate and then do what we can to ensure that data is used as effectively and professionally as it possibly can be.
We want to be the Good Guys in sport. I think we are. It's a big responsibility, but it's what we do."

Hilary on being part of Sony.

"Being part of the Sony Company is extremely valuable to us. Not only is it a quality guarantee, it also allows us access to different investments, it allows us to think bigger than we might do if we were an independent business.

Our challenge is how we make sure we can exist within the Eco System of Sony, but also ensure that we are an innovations business.

We have sort of got the best of both worlds really – the opportunity of a major corporation, as well as being able to operate in the way which we need to."
