The Sports Bubble has discussions with the talented people having fantastic experiences and doing amazing things in the sports industry.
 
In today’s guest episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with David Stevenson. Dave has a CV to behold, having achieved so much at home in Australia but also abroad. Dave spent a very respectable 17 years working for none other than Nike, working his way up from an Assistant Store Manager in NikeTown Melbourne, to the VP and GM of Sales in Emerging Markets working in Portland, USA.

We also chat about all things AFL which has been a huge part of his life for the past 6 years. Dave is the former CEO of the Western Bulldogs and now GM of Operations in the AFL. We hear how he and his team have managed the difficulty of back to back covid impacted seasons where he has led successful projects such as the 2020 and 2021 GF, Return to Crowds, and Return to Play.

We also touch on his involvement at the Western Bulldogs during their 2016 Premiership Year.
