There’s a big difference between Producer and Executive Producer. US TV has a rank system. EP credit is given to (among others) the showrunners, the pilot episode director, the author of underlying materials, commissioners at the studio and network, studio executives, packaged actors, anyone else whose name can open doors, senior writers, and many many more.
EP credit does not intrinsically confer authority, nor does it guarantee the credited person actually did any work on the show at all. For example, Stan Lee was an EP on Marvel shows and films, and had no involvement at all other than as an actor, and having created some characters a long time ago.
She isn’t.
She’s an EP

i mean my experience is our EPs were the persons chasing down funding (or providing it themselves) but every project is different
