When Micky Lawler took over as President of the Women's Tennis Association, she set about transforming it into an unstoppable commercial growth engine. Game, set and match to her. The Dutch-born, Columbia-raised WTA President Micky Lawler's route into the game came via the ATP (Men's International Tennis council). "I found myself by complete chance working as the communications officer for the ATP. At the time, the women's game was a much younger sport – but the professional evolution of the men's scheme seemed much more established, although it was interesting because the women went into markets where the men didn't. Say the men were in London, Paris, Berlin, the women would go to smaller markets. But this changed quickly.”Since her appointment in 2015, Lawler has worked tirelessly to transition the WTA from an august governing body to a commercial growth engine. They are, she says, at a pivotal moment in the organisation's history. “There is tremendous opportunity to align with brands and organisations whose values we share. We are living in such a turbo-charged world in terms of the speed at which things need to get done to stay relevant, it feels like a race against results.” And in a results-driven world, Lawler is at once driven by the idea of being a custodian (“to me the end is passing it over to the next generation in a very healthy state and giving the athlete tournaments in which they can thrive”), and communicating the sport's myriad of compelling stories.

Sandra Federighi is CFO at Stella McCartney. She shares about her path to the top, and why the woman behind the brand is an absolute visionary. For Sandra Federighi, a finalist in the Black British Business Awards in 2017, she recalls her nascent days in the world of so-called uber-luxe being far removed from anything resembling opulence or comfort. ‘Right at the beginning, when I entered the luxury fashion business in Italy, my salary was very low,' she explains. ‘I had to do other jobs in order to survive and that was the toughest because at the same time I had to put in extra hours in my day, as well as being a barmaid in the evening.' The slog was, she insists, eminently worth it. Her first job was in banking after achieving her masters degree in economics, but she soon realised that the culture and environent wasn't as expected. This inspired her to seek her passion for fashion and decided to combine her degree with this as well.Today, her work as CFO at Stella McCartney sees her in charge of the finances of the brand on a global level. It's vertigo-inducingly high-level stuff, but not content with being CFO alone, Sandra has also taken on the role of business services director, which involves looking after other services of the company as well.
