About Stacey

As Senior Coordinating Director Production Operations at ESPN, I am responsible for Network Operations for ESPN’s Domestic and International networks. My team is credited with maintaining a very high level of execution of programming, commercial content and network level branding across all 16 Bristol-based networks.I also oversee the operations team of Content Editors who are responsible for editing for all ESPN highlight and information shows as well as the Business Operations and Facilities Resource teams responsible for budgeting, booking and coordination of all Connecticut-based facilities. Collectively these groups employ 230 operators, coordinators and managers.
In previous roles at ESPN, I led the operations team responsible for launching the Digital Center, SportsCenter and NFL in High Definition. I also directed the team of technical directors for the launch of the ESPNEWS network. In 2003 and 2005, my teams earned “Technical Team Studio” Emmy awards for “This is SportsCenter” and the NFL Draft. Before coming to ESPN, I spent more than twelve years in local television in the New York and Connecticut markets as a Director of live newscasts.
I'm actively involved in WICT at the national and chapter level and a graduate of the Betsy Magness Leadership Institute-Class XXIII. I hold a B.A. in communications from the State University of New York College of Brockport, been married for 24 years and have two adult children. I enjoy all things theatre from community to Broadway and dining, laughing and chatting with my family and close friends.
