On this week’s episode of the Most Powerful Women in Sports podcast, Adweek’s former chief content officer Lisa Granatstein sits down with Jessi Miley-Dyer, Senior Vice President of Tours and Head of Competition of the World Surf League.

Miley-Dyer grew up in New South Wales, Australia and began surfing when she was 8. She spent 15 years as a pro surfer, winning many prestigious competitions, before joining WSL in 2011. And in 2018, Miley-Dyer played a key role in bringing pay equity to pro surfing. WSL became the first U.S.-based sports group to offer equal pay globally for every competitor. 

We’ll hear from Miley-Dyer about how she rode the wave from pro surfer to league leader and discuss what’s next for women in sports.
