Background

About Liz Dolan

After a year as a Fellow at the Stanford University Distinguished Careers Institute for the academic year 2024-2025, I am leading a gently reorganized life that includes angel investing, board service, mentorship of young people and podcasting about late career transitions. MARKETING: I have served as Chief Marketing Officer of some of the world's most notable brands: NIKE, Inc, OWN:The Oprah Winfrey Network, FOX SPORTS and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. As an independent consultant, I was part of the marketing team that made the FIFA Women's World Cup a transformative event for women's sports globally. MEDIA: In addition to marketing work in sports and television, I created a pioneering podcast for women - Satellite Sisters - which has won 13 Gracie Allen Awards for excellence from American Women in Media. I also hosted SAFE FOR WORK, a career advice podcast from Wondery, and currently host LIZNESS SCHOOL, a podcast about my experience as a DCI Fellow at Stanford and life in transition after I completed my DCI year. BOARDS AND INVESTING: I am a founding member of Oregon Sports Angels, a diverse group of sports industry and business professionals and investors. We invest in and grow the next generation sports companies. I serve of the Board of Directors of Q30. In 2021, the Q-Collar became the first and only FDA-cleared device to reduce traumatic brain injury. I am also on the board for The Magic Boost, a non-profit I created with others who are active in sports media to train the next generation of content creators and bring new voices to sports media. CO-AUTHOR: With my sisters, I am the co-author of two books under the Satellite Sisters brand.
