Although he has held a number of roles since that point, strategy has always been a key focus, and Halpin has become a pivotal influence on the business of the league as it strives to achieve its much-vaunted target of $25 billion in revenues by 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Halpin was promoted to his current role in 2018 and has established himself as cornerstone member of the league&#8217;s C-Suite. When Mark Waller left his role running the league&#8217;s international business after the 2019 Super Bowl in Atlanta, it was Halpin who took on his responsibilities. His purview is now as wide as it is long term and bears some breaking down:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Halpin&#8217;s responsibilities as Chief Strategy Officer<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Innovation<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Driving fan acquisition<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Maximising fan engagement<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Using data and analytics to propel all the above<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Halpin&#8217;s responsibilities as Chief Growth Officer<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">International<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Football development and play pathways<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Media distribution and digital engagement<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Legalised sports betting<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">New markets and &#8216;owner development&#8217;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the conversational agenda:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211;\u00a0\u2018Positive vigilance vs optimistic paranoia\u2019 &#8211; the mood inside the NFL offices;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; The processes and people Halpin relies on to keep on top of all of his objectives;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Where the NFL&#8217;s next billion dollar revenue rise is coming from;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; The link between private equity and sport and why Halpin&#8217;s watching CVC&#8217;s rugby play with interest;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; How to be interested in things that matter: have a set of \u2018virtual advisors whose insights you steal and morph into your own\u2019;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Roger Goodell\u2019s secret to success;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; How to present to a boardroom of 32 billionaires that make up the NFL ownership group.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>\u201cThere\u2019s real value for the sports industry in people who can bring insights of other business models, other industries where things have been done a certain way, and bring them to bear.
