This week’s episode features the amazing Mie Øestergaard an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategist and Consultant, who specialises in working with organisations across sports, media, and health to create more inclusive working cultures. Mie began her career working in charitable foundations for well-renowned footballers like Rio Ferdinand and Jason Roberts before making the transition to becoming a freelance consultant for companies such as Sky Sports, Women in Football, Aspire Charity, Football Blacklist among many other others.
In this episode of In Her Corner, we talk to Mie about her life and career journey, the sobering highs, and lows of working in diversity, equity, and inclusion, the value of each of us being introspective about challenging our own privilege. And why recent changes in the sports industry have given her hope for a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow.
