Meet Benita
Olympic Gold Medalist & Transformational Leader
Hello and welcome!
I’m Benita Fitzgerald Mosley—an Olympic gold medalist, CEO, and lifelong believer in the power of overcoming obstacles. My journey began in Dale City, Virginia, where I first learned that a determined mind and a supportive community can break barriers and build legacies. I discovered my own potential when I realized I could ask, “Why not me?”—and truly mean it. That mindset pushed me from a young girl integrating an all-white elementary school to standing atop the Olympic podium.
But my gold medal was never the end goal. I’ve led national nonprofits, guided athletes through career transitions, and championed women leaders because I believe we all deserve to “win gold medals” in life, not just in sport. Through speaking engagements, mentorship, and my firm LeadLeg, I strive to help individuals, teams, and organizations find their own finish lines—and cross them with confidence and purpose.
I’m grateful for every coach, mentor, and colleague who saw the spark in me—and I’d be honored to help you discover yours, too. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about my story. I hope it inspires you to dream bigger, lead more powerfully, and leave a lasting legacy of your own.
Ready to cross your own finish line? Let’s connect and explore how LeadLeg can help you achieve gold-medal success.
With gratitude,
Benita Fitzgerald Mosley
