Banghart named by Fortune Magazine one of world's top leaders

Tom Pham

An unprecedented 30-0 regular season for the women’s basketball team has not only led to plaudits from the sporting world, but has led to Fortune Magazine naming head coach Courtney Banghart as one of the world’s greatest leaders in the magazine’s second annual list. Coach Banghart was ranked 43rd onthe list by Fortune Magazine, making her the highest ranked leader in women’s sports, and the third ranked individual in the sports industry, behind only former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming and four-time NBA MVP LeBron James. Coach Banghart was ranked ahead of well-known names such as Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber, Jimmy Fallon, host of theTonightShow, and most notably, Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner. It was not enough to be brilliant, admirable, or even supremely powerful.” The magazine stated,"Coach Banghart was a perfect fit for the following description of “effectiveness and commitment and for the courage to pioneer.” Coach Banghart took over an unsuccessful program eight years ago, and in that time, she has earned a 169-67 record and a 92-17 record in the Ivy League.
