NBCUniversal · Peacock Olympics
Olympics Multiview ads, aligned across teams and partners.
I aligned teams and partners, including Apple, Roku, ads, analytics and commerce, and set the plan for launching on Roku.

The problem
The Olympics needed ads working in Multiview on Apple and Roku, on a date that wasn’t going to move, with many teams and partners involved.
What I owned
I didn’t own every team involved. I kept them aligned, and I set the Roku launch plan, which delivery accepted.
How it went
Build ahead of Roku
I proposed building Roku Multiview before Roku’s firmware update landed, instead of waiting for it.
Test on allowlisted devices
We proved it on a limited device list first, which kept the risk small.
Keep a switch-off fallback
If anything misbehaved, we could turn it off without a new release.
