DealBook Summit - The New York Times Events

DealBook Summit - The New York Times Events Ashley Judd Actor, Author and Humanitarian Ashley Judd is an actor, author, survivor leader and global feminist humanitarian. She has worked with N.G.O.s, grassroots organizations and governments since 2004, advocating for justice, equality, healing and the rights of the marginalized. Judd was named one of Time’s “Persons of the Year” for her role as a silence-breaker and changemaker in the #MeToo movement.

What were some of those ‘dark deals’? Every industry has its murky corners, and sport is no exception. When big money enters the room, competition gets fierce. In the book, I recount several episodes—from nations pulling every trick in the book to win hosting rights, to personal experiences of espionage and sabotage. In one instance, during a bidding campaign against Russia, my office was broken into and my hard drive stolen. Later, I found scratch marks on my home door from another attempted break-in. Eighteen months later, I was skiing behind Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his security team—and I couldn’t resist asking his aide, “Now that you’ve won, can I have my hard...
