Series 10, Episode 1: Female Empowerment, Triple-A baseball, & the Sports Industry with Emily Jaenson

In this episode of Your Potential for Everything, host Alex brings on Emily Jaenson, the General Manager of the Reno Aces Baseball Club. Emily talks with Alex about how women are essential in the sports industry, her entry into Triple-A baseball, and female empowerment through community.

Upon accepting the General Manager role in 2018, Emily became the first female in Triple-A baseball to hold the General Manager role in nearly 20 years. She is a pioneer in the sports industry and a positive role model for women in sports.

Jaenson’s role is to lead day-to-day business operations for baseball including the event experience, community engagement, marketing and media, and contribute to the sponsorship team. Jill-of-all trades is the name of the game in addition to leading a team of professionals who deliver 72 baseball games annually.

Emily is on a mission to bring excellence and intention to her job every day so that she can shine the light for other women to pursue roles traditionally held by men in the sports industry. This is where the podcast, Leadership is Female, was born. The mission of the podcast is to interview female executives in sport so that she and her guests can lead the next generation of female leadership forward.
