Isabella Bertold is a professional sailor and cyclist. As captain of Concord Pacific Racing in the first ever Women’s America’s Cup, she led the ‘It’s Time’ campaign, building long-term pathways for girls and women in sailing. She’s also a sharp sport-business thinker, startup advisor and early stage-investor, speaking openly about how women’s sport can attract aligned investment and build athlete-centred business models. She’s recently been featured in Sport Business Journal, Domestique, Shift Cycling Culture and The Feist, and she writes a growing Substack exploring sport, sustainability and tech innovation. Sustainability is core to her leadership. She drove Canada SailGP’s Impact League work and is currently preparing for ‘Paths of Wind and Motion’ a solo sailing and cycling expedition from Plymouth to Bergen and through the Norwegian fjords, gathering microplastics data while raising public awareness. Isabella is the definition of a modern day athlete, passionate, purpose-driven and pushing the boundaries of what sport, sustainability and leadership can achieve.
