UP363 Will Greenwood - Overthinking The Rugby Business

Closed leagues, club v country, private equity, player exodus, the club pyramid and concussion.
These are just a few of the issues we tackle with Will Greenwood in this special rugby business episode of the podcast. 
Greenwood is one of England's greatest ever rugby players, a World Cup winner and was three times picked to tour with the British and Irish Lions. He made his International debut in November 1997 at Twickenham against Australia and remains the second highest try scorer in English rugby history.

In 2014 Greenwood hosted Sky’s School of Hard Knocks, a programme where he took on a group of would be, up and coming Rugby players of the future and helped them on their way. Greenwood was born October 20th, 1972 in Blackburn. His father Dick Greenwood played as flanker for and also later coached the England Rugby team.  Will then went on to study Economics at Durham University. On graduating he took up a position on the City trading floor at Midland Global Markets (now HSBC).  Today he balances media work and coaching with his role as Chief Customer Officer at Afiniti, the  AI driven customer experience software company.
