Operator

Jennifer Storms serves as Chief Marketing Officer at NBCUniversal, where she oversees marketing strategy across the company's expansive portfolio of entertainment, news, and sports properties. Known for her ability to bridge brand storytelling with data-driven advertising strategy, Storms has been instrumental in shaping how NBCU positions itself to advertisers and audiences alike in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.

Before joining NBCUniversal, Storms held senior marketing leadership roles at major sports and media organizations. She served as Chief Marketing Officer at Turner Sports, where she led marketing for properties including the NBA, NCAA March Madness, and Bleacher Report.

Storms is widely regarded as a strategic operator who understands both the creative and commercial dimensions of media marketing. Her influence extends into advertiser relationships, as NBCU's CMO role requires close collaboration with sales and ad product teams to craft compelling narratives for brand partners.
