Summary
Carolyn Radford is the Chief Executive Officer of Mansfield Town and currently one of only two female CEOs in professional football. She accepted the position at Mansfield Town at the age of just 29, becoming the youngest football executive in the country - a title she still holds.
Speaking to Luke on a match day at Field Mill, Carolyn provides a unique insight into the role of a CEO at Football League level and chats on a range of subjects including what it's like to be a woman in the rarefied atmosphere of the professional game and, having steered The Stags back into the Football League, what her plans are for the future of the club.
