Pamela Duckworth, the head of Fubo Sports Network, is one of the rare examples of women rising to the top in sports media. She credits her career success to “having a thick skin” in the male-dominated industry.
“You have to have a thick skin because when you’re doing sports, especially if you’re doing live sports, everything is coming at you so quickly that you just have to roll with it,” she told TheWrap for this week’s Office With a View. “You have to be like, ‘OK, I can fix this’ and be solution-oriented.”
Duckworth, who also oversees the OTT streamer’s original sports programming, noted that when she started in her career, she was “one of like two or three females” working on car racing.
