Description

How is the NFL navigating a changing landscape? Find out from Chris Halpin who, with his team, drives League-wide strategy, long-range planning and Data & Analytics. Chris also oversees key growth areas for the NFL, including managing the League’s rapidly expanding International business and leading its activities in legalized sports betting.

As Strategy & Growth chief, Chris Halpin works across the NFL in developing and driving its long-term growth strategy. He describes its three long-term core objectives as “the Game, Fans, and Engagement.” Chris and his team work to make each of these areas strong and growing, focusing on investing in each of them, in the ever-more-complicated consumer and media landscape.

We will talk with him about the process of planning at the NFL, including key inputs such as broader industry dynamics, a range of stakeholders, and how the League measures progress and success. We will also talk about the broader consumer and technology trends that can spur growth into the next decade. Key growth themes for the NFL include digital/interactive offerings and International growth, both of which we will explore in the session.

Before the NFL, Chris had been a partner at Providence Equity Partners, a global Media & Communications private equity firm. We will also discuss how his 15-year career in private equity serves him in his current job and what the transition was like from investments to an operating business. The discussion will also include advice for those interested in careers in the sports and media industries.
