The historic MLB in-market streaming deal for 15 Fox regional sports nets was a high point of Teran’s year, but not the only one. She also guided the relationship and the deal with BAMtech to provide select backend services, was the lead legal adviser in the herculean preparations for Fox’s first FIFA men’s World Cup in Russia and made key contributions to the incredible growth of FS1, which delivered record-setting ratings in 2016. As she continues to find new approaches to content delivery across nonlinear platforms, expect this longtime Fox exec to demonstrate her savvy anticipating change so Fox can effectively maintain a competitive advantage.
