During his tenure at ESPN, Sean has had a track record of success and increasing responsibility. In 2004, Sean was appointed to the Senior Management team leading the reorganization of the Customer Marketing and Sales division as it assumed the multi-media responsibility of managing the digital and print sales groups as well as television.
