U.S. Ambassador To The UK Jane D. Hartley Pays Tribute To BBC Sports Presenter Alex Scott: “She Has Inspired Millions”


BBC presenter Alex Scott received a glowing tribute from the U.S. Ambassador to the UK, Jane D. Hartley, at a high-profile event in London last night.

The event, at the Ambassador’s residence in Regent’s Park, was held by WME and IMG parent Endeavor 100 days out from the Paris Olympics. “She is someone who has inspired millions with her grace and grit on the pitch, her wit and wisdom as a commentator and especially her mentorship of young women who want to grow up to be just like her.” Endeavor’s SVP and Head of Impact and Inclusion, Romola Ratnam, told the reception that the company’s various Virtual Pipeline Programs had led to the hires of “more than 55” young women who might have otherwise struggled to find ways into the media and sport sectors.
