We sat down with Jennifer Cabalquinto, Chief Financial Officer of the Golden State Warriors, to discover what her role entails (7:40) and how much power she has in the decision-making process for the championship team (8:55). She discusses the importance of diversifying a team, how that plays a vital role both on and off the court as well as the value of having a leader with a clear vision (9:50). Cabalquinto explains how her background in entertainment helped her succeed with the Warriors, despite having no previous sports experience (16:55). Now, a thriving CFO for the Warriors, she breaks-down the business of running a sports team, from ticket sales to stadium construction to the G-League and beyond (24:20). With the success of the team and her current business model, she talks future plans, which just might include a WNBA team in San Francisco (34:20).
