Alexis Ohanian is on a mission to become one of the most influential figures in women’s sports. His investment in Chelsea Women is a huge step to achieving his goal.
In the sports world, many know him as Serena Williams’s husband. In tech, he is better recognised as the Reddit co-founder (and former executive chairman) and venture capitalist.
Ohanian is well aware that his wife will always command the spotlight. At Sunday’s Women’s FA Cup final, which his new team Chelsea won 3-0 to clinch a historic undefeated domestic treble, Williams waltzed through the mixed zone first, the entourage — including her husband — trailing behind the tennis great, cherubs in her wake.
