The WWE Chief Brand Officer talks about being associated with a worthy cause, her memories with The Rock, and why her children could continue her family’s legacy
A true-blue icon of the brand, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon has seen it all. Even though she’s a fourth-generation member of the prestigious McMahan wrestling family, the 45-year-old has worked her way up the ladder in the media and entertainment company; from being a receptionist to a pro-wrestler to her current leadership position.
The wife of wrestling legend Triple H — who currently serves as the COO of WWE — Stephanie also spearheads and promotes several goodwill initiatives, one of them being the multi-year extension of the international partnership between Special Olympics and WWE.
Founded in 1968, Special Olympics is a global movement to end discrimination against people with intellectual and physical disabilities. With more than six million athletes and Unified Sports partners in around 200 countries, and more than one million coaches and volunteers, Special Olympics organises more than 30 Olympic-type sports and 100,000 games and competitions annually.
