Stephanie McMahon Named World’s #2 Most Influential Chief Marketing Officer

WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon has been named the #2 most influential Chief Marketing Officer in the world by Forbes.

McMahon was beaten only by Phil Schiller, who is the Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing for Apple.

Forbes writes:

McMahon is an outspoken and highly visible executive at WWE, a company in an industry often mired in controversy. The daughter of WWE CEO Vince McMahon, she is a former WWE Superstar herself, and she’s a big proponent of WWE Superstars growing their own brands via social media. She has also championed women’s equality in the WWE.

This year she spoke out about making the events that went on during the pandemic safe for fans and Superstars. In June she also reportedly shared what she and the company are doing to eliminate racial inequality on The Female Quotient—and partnered with FQ founder Shelley Zalis to create a discussion series called “Women in the Business of Sports.”

McMahon has not reacted to the news as of this writing.
