The New York Giants are hiring NFL executive Dawn Aponte as the franchise's new Senior Vice President in football operations, according to Adam Schefter and Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The move brings one of the league's most respected administrators into the Giants front office.
Aponte has been a fixture at the NFL league office since 2017, serving as the chief administrator of football operations. In that capacity, she worked closely with league leadership on a variety of operational and policy matters affecting all 32 clubs. Her transition to the Giants marks a return to the team side of the business.
Before her stint at the league level, Aponte built an extensive resume within team front offices. She is well-known for her time with the Miami Dolphins, where she previously served as an executive. Her career also includes experience with the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets, making her one of the most experienced female executives in professional football.
The addition of Aponte is expected to bolster the Giants' football operations department as they continue to refine their internal structure. Further details regarding her specific responsibilities within the organization have not yet been released.
