Since taking the wheel as Group Chief Executive of Sky in 2021, Dana Strong has transformed the company into a digital innovation and entertainment powerhouse. A global media and telecommunications veteran, Dana is known for accelerating growth and redefining how audiences connect with content.
Under her leadership, Sky has launched two groundbreaking streaming platforms: Sky Glass and Sky Stream. These internet-powered services signal a bold shift from traditional satellite broadcasting, putting Sky directly on viewers’ screens with seamless ease — a move that reflects the rapid pace and precision of a Formula 1 pit stop.
But Dana’s vision goes beyond technology. She has championed Sky’s cultural and creative mission, delivering award-winning original content, offering free access to news and the arts, and producing some of the world’s biggest live sporting events — including Formula 1.
In a major win for sports fans, Sky recently secured long-term broadcast rights for Formula 1 until 2029, reinforcing its position as the home of motorsport in the UK and beyond. This deal sits alongside other landmark agreements, including record Premier League coverage from 2025, the EFL until 2029, and the US Open tennis through 2027. These partnerships underscore Dana’s strategic ability to drive Sky into pole position across sports broadcasting.
Dana has also expanded Sky’s entertainment reach by bringing global platforms like Apple TV+, Paramount+, and Peacock into the fold. Simultaneously, she’s spearheaded the growth of Sky Mobile — now the UK’s fastest-growing mobile operator — expanded Sky Broadband’s footprint, and launched Sky Protect, an innovative smart home insurance service.
Before Sky, Dana led major transformations at Comcast Cable, Virgin Media, and Liberty Global, sharpening her edge in a highly competitive industry.
With Dana Strong at the helm, Sky is racing ahead — blending innovation, entertainment, and sport — and for Formula 1 fans, the road ahead looks thrilling.
