Julie Haddon (NWSL) | Reshaping the Future of Women's Soccer

This month marks the opening of a new season for the red-hot NWSL–The National Women's Soccer League. Jim's this week is the Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer of the NWSL, Julie Haddon. Jim has known Julie for many years, going back to her years at the NFL as VP of Global Brand and consumer marketing, before joining the NWSL as its first-ever CMO.

Great CMOs are growth drivers, and Julie has indeed done that with her team. Julie has been CMO for about 2.5 years and the growth rate is staggering; double the number of fans in attendance at matches; two new teams joining the league with more coming; a four-year media deal worth $240 million–the previous media deal was for three years for $4.5 million. And team valuations are increasing massively.

Julie was a journalism major years ago at Indiana University in Bloomington, before launching a career in tech & entertainment that is epic: Dreamworks Animation, eBay, PayPal, Twitter, Zynga, Sofi, the NFL, and now the NWSL. Tune in for a conversation with a CMO who had a vision six years ago in France that she could help shape the future of women's soccer.
