ESPN recently named Rob Simmelkjaer '93 as its new Vice President of International Development, after he served the network for two years as the vice president of corporate projects. In his previous position, Simmelkjaer worked in international affairs, focusing on putting together a bid for ESPN to broadcast the next Olympic Games. "The Olympics now is just a small part of what I'm going to be doing," he said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Although his previous work included some on-air duties for the network, Simmelkjaer said he is primarily interested in the management of ESPN, but plans to continue doing on-air commentary. "Ultimately I want to be involved in running the business here," he said. Simmelkjaer said his role in ESPN International will be expanded because of the scope of his new position.
