The Denver Broncos are bringing back Brittany Bowlen as a Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, according to multiple media reports. She will become the team’s 11th V.P. on staff.
The team is expected to groom Brittany to become the next controlling owner. She will begin working in her new role next Monday.
“Brittany is working toward earning the right to succeed her father, and this is the next step in that process,” Broncos president/CEO Joe Ellis said in a statement, via The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala. “Given her work experience and depth of knowledge, we’re looking forward to Brittany returning to work for the Broncos and adding value across our organization.”
Brittany, 29, is one of late owner Pat Bowlen’s seven children and she now appears to be the front runner to succeed her father. Bowlen died in June after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Before he died, Bowlen set up a trust and tasked them with passing down ownership of the team to one of his children when a qualified candidate emerged.
Brittany previously worked for the team in 2015 and for the NFL office from 2013-2014. She has been working for McKinsey & Co. since last year.
