“The WiST NETWORK has amplified USOPC career opportunities and our talent acquisition team has been thrilled at the expansion of their talent pipeline.”

Sameer Ahuja President, GameChanger

“I continue to be impressed with the incredible work that WiST does to open doors for women in the sports tech industry. It is widely understood that diversity is key to a thriving workplace, so having access to resources like the WiST Fellowship Program is immensely valuable as we compete to attract the very best talent in tech. This year's Fellows were not only a delight to work with, but they brought creativity and fresh perspectives that were inspiring and made a real impact on our company.”

Nancy Hensley CMO/CPO, Stats Perform

“The WiST Fellowship Program proactively places exceptional women within organizations, affording them the opportunity to break through and learn from their respective host companies. This program is immensely valuable not only for the Fellows but also for the participating companies, who often struggle to identify talented female candidates in a sea of male counterparts.”

Jenna Kurath Vice President of Startup Partner Development and Head of Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech

“WiST is an impressive organization that we are proud to support and we are excited to have WiST Fellows join our SportsTech Accelerator team for their summer internship projects. Our WiST Fellows gain immediate experience working with our deal sourcing team to evaluate startup founders applying for our SportsTech accelerator classes, and we value the Fellows’ unique perspectives.”

Cam Vale, General Manager, ASTN

“The Australian Sports Technologies Network (ASTN) has over six months transformed our approach to addressing the challenge of creating more opportunities for women in sports technology, largely due to our partnership with WiST. The leadership, collaboration and experience of the vast resources of WiST has helped the ASTN in our program development, exceeding our deliverables and finding new commercial and government partnerships. We at the ASTN don’t believe there is an organisation that can rival WiST and we see a long term partnership with WiST and Australian Sports Technology.”

Sean Forman President, Sports Reference LLC,

“Sports Reference LLC has benefited tremendously from our relationship with WiST.  We work at the intersection of sports and tech, and sometimes both industries can be hostile to women trying to break into those fields.  WiST has helped us recruit multiple women to our summer internship program, advertise our positions to talented women interested in sports & tech, and is a venue some of our female employees have used to mentor others trying to enter this industry.”

Oris Stuart Former NBA Chief People and Inclusion Officer and WiST Advisor

“Diversity and inclusion are core values and critical priorities for the NBA and all of our leagues and teams, and we know that we will only make progress by expanding our networks and creating broader and more inclusive talent pools. We are grateful to partner with WiST, who has been instrumental in creating new opportunities for women in technology and for employers who are seeking to attract the world’s best talent. Additionally, we are excited to support the WiST Fellowship program, a dynamic group of young women who will undoubtedly become innovators and leaders across our industry through WiST’s extensive programming and support.”
