Kennedy said Debbie Wardrop, who has served as NFL director of special events since 1999, will become the committee's chief executive officer.
"We have a leader," Kennedy told the newspaper. "She gives us special insight to the NFL because she has worked with other host committees, and she will steer us away from the traps and pitfalls. She will be a steady, experienced hand in dealing with the hospitality community."
Wardrop, 48, who will earn $200,000 annually and begin her new job April 4, becomes just the second woman to run a Super Bowl. The other is Detroit's Susan Sherer, who is working on Super Bowl XL.
