Raelene Castle: The NRL's First Female CEO & NZ's Most Powerful Sports Executive (Re-Release)
About this episode
Raelene Castle discusses her career and experiences as a prominent sports executive in this insightful interview.
She ran the Bulldogs, steered Australia Rugby through one of their biggest controversies, and led NZ sport through its toughest years. So why don't more people know the real Raelene Castle? In this episode we sit down with one of the most significant sports executives the southern hemisphere has ever produced - and discover that the woman behind the headlines is nothing like the one in them. We cover the six phone calls she made in four hours that launched her career in sport, what was really happening behind the scenes during the Israel Folau saga, her relationship with Des Hasler, living publicly with alopecia, and why the moment a rugby league legend walked across a sideline just to introduce himself told her everything she needed to know about the game she'd just entered. Raelene Castle is generous, funny, tough as nails, and completely open in this conversation - it’s so good, we need to re-share it with all our new listeners! Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers Clothing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
