Sally Bolton, the All
England Club’s first female CEO, along with its new chairman, have real opportunity to make game more accessible to everyone
Sally Bolton is one of a small but growing number of influential
Women at the highest levels of international
Tennis, and the incoming chief executive of the All England Club knows she has a duty to listen to voices from other marginalised groups who have been ignored for too long.
“I absolutely appreciate that my gender is a story,” says Bolton, the first woman to be chief executive at
Wimbledon. “I do hope that I’ll be judged on what I achieve. I also appreciate that it’s important for women and girls to be able to see it’s possible to achieve senior roles in sport. And I’m very supportive of diversity in the boardroom, and in sport generally. So it’s exciting times.”
