LEICESTER BUSINESSWOMAN NAMED AMONG 'GLOBAL CRICKET'S MOST INFLUENTIAL WOMEN'

Emma White, the Chief Executive of Leicestershire County Cricket Club, has been included in the inaugural Cricexec Women's Power 50 list.

Cricexec, a leading trade publication for the global cricket industry, annually recognises the 50 most influential women shaping the cricket business worldwide.

Emma is part of a distinguished group of executives, dealmakers, and visionaries who are influencing the future of cricket. This year's list features individuals from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the International Cricket Council (ICC), national federations, broadcasters, and the broader commercial ecosystem.

Before joining Leicestershire CCC in September 2025, Emma was well-known for her expertise in managing several racecourses; she had full operational responsibility for major racing events, consistently increasing attendance and establishing high-profile media partnerships.

Cricexec stated, "Emma White is currently the only female CEO among the eighteen First-Class County Clubs in England and Wales. She entered the county cricket scene not with hesitation but with a clear vision: to transform Leicestershire County Cricket Club into a thriving hub of sport, community, and commercial success."

"Recognized across the UK and Ireland for her dynamic leadership, White brings over two decades of experience in sports and events, having driven growth and innovation across racecourses, rugby clubs, and consultancy ventures."

John Thorpe, Chairman of Leicestershire CCC, commented, "Emma has been central to the club's development, and this recognition is richly deserved. Emma has a vision, and while it takes time, we have already achieved a great deal in terms of commercial opportunities—now the wider world sees Leicestershire CCC as a club on the rise."
