Jane Geddes

Jane Geddes, like Patty Sheehan and Rosie Jones, is an influential gay figure from the world of women's golf. She didn't quite manage to match Sheehan's level of success on the course, but she still managed to bag fifteen career LPGA tour wins, including two majors. Having become an inspiration to lesbian female athletes as a player, she's gone on to become just as much an inspiration in the boardroom after retirement.

First, she founded an e-commerce website called Planesia, and then sold it in 2001. She picked up a law degree, but instead of taking up a legal career she returned to golf in 2007 to become the Senior Director of Tournament Business Affairs. Geddes must have excelled in that role, because she then became Vice-President of Competition in 2009. That put her on the radar of wrestling giants WWE, who appointed her as VP of Talent Relations in 2011. She now lives in Stamford, Connecticut with her partner Gigi Fernandez and their twins.
