Erika Nardini can now add “board member” to her resume. As of today, the Barstool Sports CEO has become the newest member of WWE’s Board of Directors.
The announcement makes Nardini the third woman to currently hold a board position at the media and entertainment company. She joins the likes of Laureen Ong and Stephanie McMahon, the company’s chief brand officer and daughter of WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.
Vince McMahon would say in a statement:
“Erika is a seasoned executive with a tremendous track record of building businesses, developing experiences, and engaging different audiences across the media ecosystem, Her entrepreneurial spirit, business acumen and understanding of today’s consumers will serve as a perfect addition to our board of directors.”
In January, WWE went through a significant corporate shakeup as co-presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson both left the company amid an elongated viewership and stock price decline.
Nick Khan, CAA’s co-head of television, was named WWE’s new president and chief revenue officer in August. Steve Pamon, who is the president and chief operating officer of the Beyoncé-founded entertainment company Parkwood Entertainment, was also named to WWE’s board in September.
WWE’s stock price is down nearly 39% since the start of the year as of the close of trading on Oct. 5.
