During a recent visit with the Manchester City Football Club, Dr. Kelly J. Otter, Dean of the School of Continuing Studies at Georgetown University, joined Jorgina Busquets, Managing Director of Football Education and Recreation at City Football Group, to discuss how these two renowned organizations are teaming up to launch the Executive Master’s in Global Sports Operations & Strategy.
Built through close collaboration between a world-class university and a leading global sports enterprise, the program reflects a shared commitment to excellence and innovation. “What better metaphor than football for life,” Busquets says, describing the comprehensive program that extends beyond tactics on the pitch or classroom learning. They highlight how the 12-month online program, with two residencies in Manchester and New York, holistically prepares strategic leaders for the rapidly evolving global sports industry.
