Brown Johnson

President, Animation
Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group

Johnson is responsible for development and production of Nick’s animated and preschool programming. With her leadership, preschool shows like “Dora the Explorer” and “The Backyardigans” have become hits, and she continues to expand the net’s lineup with successes. For instance, Nick Jr. has enjoyed double-digit ratings growth thanks to her vision. How does she do it? What’s imperative, she says, is “maintaining a safe, inspirational home for creative thinking, while excelling in business.”
