We're thrilled to introduce the next feature in our JKJ Women Who Inspire series: Susan Williamson, Senior Vice President of Business Operations at The Philadelphia 76ers. Susan is an incredible role model who encourages stepping outside one's comfort zone and embracing authenticity! "Throughout my career, I’ve decorated my office with a few meaningful pieces to inspire and remind me of my leadership goals. One has been Forbes’ “The World’s 100 Most Power Women” list. These incredible women and their accomplishments have set the bar and anchored my aspirations, motivating me to challenge the status quo. I was the first woman selected to be the head manager for The University of Virginia’s Men’s Basketball Team, pioneering new territory. Post-graduation, I chose, at the time, the unconventional path of ticket sales to start my career in sports marketing with the New York Knicks. From there, it’s been 20+ years of constant learning, embracing the unexpected and striving for excellence. Like another piece of art on my wall now reminds me daily: Be Bold, Brave & Brilliant." Throughout her impressive career in sports, Susan has continuously pushed boundaries. Whether it was going back to school full-time for her MBA or raising her hand for projects outside her expertise, her genuineness, resilience and comfort with ambiguity have defined her leadership style. In 2019, Susan was a recipient of Philadelphia Business Journal’s “Forty Under 40” honors; in 2020, she was selected from an international pool of senior industry executives to Leaders in Sports acclaimed “Leaders Under 40” list. One of the more fulfilling aspects of Susan's journey has been witnessing the success of those she's mentored and managed. She takes great pride in seeing them thrive in their careers and personal lives.
