Responsible for spearheading the growth and strategic direction of Peacock, Campbell's leadership has propelled the platform to unprecedented success in a fiercely competitive market.
Since assuming her role in 2021, Campbell has orchestrated a series of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing Peacock's offerings and expanding its subscriber base. Under her stewardship, Peacock has achieved remarkable growth, emerging as the fastest-growing streaming service in the United States for two consecutive years. Notably, Peacock made history by hosting the most-streamed live event in U.S. media history with the first-ever streaming-exclusive NFL Playoff Game in January of 2024.

Peacock's recent strides under Campbell's leadership are evident in its impressive content library and strategic partnerships. With a robust lineup of original series, including critically acclaimed shows like "Poker Face" and "Mrs. Davis," Peacock is solidifying its position as a premier destination for premium entertainment content. Additionally, strategic licensing deals, such as the agreement with Universal Pictures, have bolstered Peacock's offerings with hit movies like "M3GAN" and "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish."
Despite facing stiff competition from industry giants like Netflix and Disney+, Peacock has continued to carve out its niche in the market. With a focus on next-day delivery of NBC and Bravo shows, exclusive sports rights, and a burgeoning slate of original content, Peacock is well-positioned for future growth and success.
Looking ahead, Peacock's ambitious plans for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where it will stream every sport and event, underscore its commitment to delivering unparalleled streaming experiences to audiences worldwide.
