VP, Strategy & Aquisitions, Turner Sports

Immele helps Turner Sports grow and expand its linear and digital portfolio. She does this by overseeing brand development, leading acquisitions of non-live sports programming, such as documentaries, and working with business development teams to determine strategic partnership and vendor relationships for Turner’s digital business. Immele contributed to Turner’s new NBA media rights agreement, which includes the addition of 12 live regular season games airing on TNT each year. As a viewer, Immele enjoys Lisa Ling’s series “This is Life.” She says it’s “a great example of someone being their authentic self.”
