Joanna Mesh

Senior Manager, Finance and Strategy
ESPN Enterprises

As one of the people who holds ESPN’s money playbook in her hands, Mesh helps guide Bristol’s strategies as it increasingly moves into a multiplatform world. Cable’s many technological applications make her job fun. “DVR, on demand, ‘start over,’ interactive TV…Every time I turn on the TV I feel like I discover a new feature,” she says. Aside from helping to steer successes on the Internet and in mobile realms, Mesh took time to persue two personal highs in 2008: She was married in September and ran her first NYC Marathon a few weeks later.
