Ep.118: Home Depot CMO Molly Battin: Multisport Athlete. Multiple C-Suite Roles

Who knows more about using tools to achieve your goals than Home Depot's Chief Marketing Officer? Yeah. That's a pretty short list. Molly Battin's competitive mindset enabled her to juggle four sports in high school and balance crew with Ivy League academics at Princeton. That same grit shows up every day in a career that's taken her to C-suite roles at Turner, WarnerMedia, Delta Air Lines and now The Home Depot. She's navigated a major media merger and a global pandemic, all while raising three kids. That signature orange work apron? It's a Superwoman cape in disguise. Molly opens up about what it's like to manage the pressure of being a senior executive AND a working mom raising athletes, and how she used the communication skills she's honed throughout her career to navigate a difficult coaching situation on her daughter's soccer team. For women building careers, parents raising athletes, and anyone looking to understand how lessons learned through sports can translate into leadership and success, this episode is for you.
