Commonwealth Games board member
Qualified lawyer and leadership advisor

Ama Agbeze is a former England Netball captain, qualified lawyer, broadcaster and board director with deep expertise in elite sport, leadership and diversity. She is widely recognised for leading England to gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, a landmark moment watched by millions worldwide and credited with transforming perceptions of netball in the UK. Ama made her England debut at 19 and went on to earn over 100 caps, captaining the national team through some of its most successful years. She has competed professionally across England, Australia and New Zealand, winning two ANZ Championships and earning the Jill McIntosh Medal for excellence. Her playing career was marked by both versatility and resilience, often balancing sport with study and legal work due to limited funding in women’s sport.

Her off-court contributions have included roles as a board member for Birmingham 2022 and Commonwealth Games England, as well as chairing athlete advisory groups and serving as a trustee for several charities. Her leadership, both on and off the court, is informed by lived experience and professional insight, making her a compelling voice on teamwork, motivation, diversity and transition. Whether reflecting on her journey through elite sport or offering strategies for high performance, Ama brings clarity, credibility and impact to every stage she steps on. Book Ama for an authentic perspective on transformational leadership that turned an underdog team into world champions while breaking barriers for women's sport in the UK.

Testimonials

I'm pleased to share that the event was a resounding success. Ama really took the debrief on board and included many great, relevant examples. The awards went very well, with high energy and great engagement throughout. I would highly recommend Ama for any events of this type.

David McKown MBE FIH

University Hospital Seminars Ltd.

Ama was honestly great. I loved the easy and natural way she added her own anecdotes and comments into the script, as well as really listening to the speeches of other presenters and drawing on them in her sections. It made it all tie together and flow really nicely, and despite being stuck in traffic and really busy she was totally composed on stage. She was really smiley and friendly too which was welcoming to all the people coming on stage. To quote our director of sport, she’s a natural!
