Episode 68: Victoria Denholm on Owning a League, Growing the Game & Leveling the Playing Field

In Episode 68 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits courtside with Victoria Denholm—CEO of Wollemi Capital Group and now co-owner of the WNBL—to talk about taking bold bets in sport, reshaping women’s basketball, and what it means to lead with purpose and ambition.Victoria shares how basketball has shaped her life from childhood to boardroom, how a LinkedIn message to Paul Smith kickstarted her journey into sports ownership, and why she sees the WNBL as a “startup with history.” She unpacks the family office’s three investment pillars—climate, diversity, and community—and how the WNBL sits right at the centre of all three.From pay parity and grassroots pipelines to media coverage, digital storytelling, and expanding the league footprint, Victoria outlines a bold but grounded vision for transforming the WNBL into a tier-one sports product. She also reflects on surreal moments—from Lauren Jackson joining as an advisor to growing up watching MJ and now helping make Olympians household names.🏀 Big vision, fresh energy, and a leadership mindset focused on impact—not just investment returns.📌 Subscribe for more stories from every corner of the game.Follow us at:w: www.scoreboardpodcast.cominsta: @scoreboardpody: https://www.youtube.com/@Scoreboardpodcastp: Partnership opportunities – [email protected]#sport #business #life #ScoreboardPodcast
