It is always one of the most popular series we run through the year and our listing of 30 Under 30 Young Leaders of Tomorrow for 2021, in association with our friends at PwC, has begun.

Over March and April, we will highlight 30 young leaders that are making a mark within the Business of Sport in Ireland. They will be drawn from sports administration,  sports sponsorship, sports media and other areas. Our ambition is the creation of a network of people making a real difference within our industry.

They will join the 100 who have been nominated over the past four years and there is still time to nominate someone you feel might be a good addition.

How to nominate someone you know for our list.

KRISTINA MILLAR

Women in Sport Lead and Honorary Secretary at Vision Sport Ireland, Clinical Scientist at NCBI

Kristina Millar joined the Vision Sports Ireland team following its successful merger with the National Council for the Blind in March 2020.

She has a diverse role; by day working as a Clinical Scientist with NCBI working across Children’s Hospital Ireland Temple Street and Crumlin whilst then switching to act as the Women in Sport lead and honorary secretary for the Board at Vision Sports Ireland.

A keen athlete, Kristina has competed at Australian Championships in track and field, hockey, and volleyball. She has recently taken up Camogie with great gusto and has just been appointed captain of her team at St Vincent’s for 2021.
