Sophie Goldschmidt is the CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the governing body for Olympic skiing and snowboarding. Beyond preparing athletes for next February’s Winter Games, she’s a strong advocate for gender equity and greater support for U.S. athletes.
In 2024, she launched the HERoic campaign to spotlight female athletes’ achievements, debuting the Stifel HERoic Cup in Killington, VT, which awarded $50,000 to the top woman alpine skier in domestic World Cup events.
Under her leadership, U.S. Ski & Snowboard honored Youth Enrichment Services with the 2025 DEI Champion Award for expanding access to snow sports. The organization also hosted more than 3,100 competitions and training days, helping over 186,000 young athletes get started on the slopes.
