Episode 5: Christine Finnegan

Christine Finnegan has had a love of sport since she was a child. Tennis was her game of choice, where on the court she describes as her happy place. She travelled around the country and played the game she loved, but it was the realisation when she was 15 years old that she wanted to run the tournament rather than play in it. And so, she did. Christine has spent the past 25 years in senior roles across Australian sport at the highest level. Now as CEO of the Tasmanian JackJumpers, she’s helped guide the team to its maiden National Basketball League championship after just three years in the competition. While sport plays a huge part of Christine’s life, the pride in and love for her son sits at the top of her list of her greatest achievements.

If you had to grab two things from a burning building, what would you choose?

 

Co-hosted by Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry, TWO AM I is redefining modern leadership, one convo at a time. We invite extraordinary individuals to tell their story through two objects. Big or small, trinket or treasure. Two things that explain who they are, and what matters to them.

 

Think of us like a supermarket for knowledge: tune in, grab what you need, then apply it in your everyday life. From sports champs to journalists. Builders to coaches. CEOs to musos. These are the fresh takes on leadership that don’t usually make the headlines.

TWO AM I
