Ask Me Anything sessions are candid conversations with senior sports executives, shaped by the questions you want answered.
Brandy joined the FIFA World Cup 2026™ team early last year to lead delivery across Los Angeles. With over 20 years’ experience in large-scale, high-profile events and complex, multi-stakeholder environments, she brings a unique perspective on what it takes to deliver a global sporting spectacle.
Taking place shortly after the conclusion of the World Cup, this session offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the tournament – exploring lessons learned, behind-the-scenes realities, and how cities prepare for and deliver events of this scale, particularly as Los Angeles looks ahead to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
