The CEO of Hearts has done wonders for the club and the women’s game in Scotland. The 74-year-old helped save the club in 2014 when she spent £2.5m to bring the Jam Tarts out of administration in 2014. In August 2021 the Hearts chair signed over her shares to the Foundation of Hearts fans' group. In her period as Chair, she has also overseen the integration of the women’s team into the club and the handing out of the first professional contracts for the players. Going forward, she targets parity for Eva Olid’s side before she retires. (Photo by Mark Scates / SNS Group)
