Stephanie Druley

“Monday Night Football” saw a dramatic change this season with a new broadcasting duo, and Druley played a key part in the evolution. She oversaw the introduction of alternate broadcasts like “Manningcast,” which has built viewership momentum with each telecast. The network’s college football portfolio also falls under her wing, and at the end of 2021 into 2022 her team led six productions that each delivered close to 20 million viewers.

“The most impactful fork in my career came in 2010. I was overseeing our NFL Studio content. It was my dream job, but I was offered the opportunity to launch Longhorn Network. The decision was a struggle, but I said yes. That network launch led to overseeing the production launch for SEC Network, which led me back to Bristol into the role that I have now.”

Name a woman who has inspired you. I know this is the clichéd answer but my mom is the woman who has inspired me. My mom is the most resilient person I know. She survived a devastating divorce only to emerge stronger on the other side. At 50, she started a new career and was incredibly successful in her field before she retired. Throughout my life, she taught me the importance of hard work, not through her words but through her actions. She set an example of humility, kindness and humor which I try to model every day.
