Sports production specialist and Tony Fay PR Chief Operating Officer Amanda Larder joins #OTP to discuss working national mega sports events, balancing work and her personal life, and why she thinks it’s important to mentor the next generation of women.

Fast forward a decade or two, and Amanda has been a part of Super Bowls, the NCAA Men’s Final Four, the US Open, and the College Football Playoff National Championship.

“I think that smart men surround themselves with really smart women. There’s still a lot of work to be done and opportunity for women to do more but I think right now what I’m seeing is so many really incredibly powerful women who are also welcomed in by powerful wonderful men.”
