Dr Johanna Wood is President of New Zealand Football - the first woman to hold the role. She is the only woman on the FIFA Council - the strategic body that sets the vision for FIFA and global football, and the first New Zealander on that body in two decades.
Dr Wood's rise to the top comes at a time when NZ Football, like many other sporting codes, tackles issues of sexism, diversity and bullying in the game. And at the international level - the ongoing fight against corruption in the global game.
When she's not doing all of that, Dr Wood works with her husband on the family dairy farm. She has been a teacher, a school principal and earlier this year completed a PhD in Education.
