D’Angela Proctor
Over the last year, Proctor has helped achieve the network’s highest rated Q1 and Q2 with strong performances from the network’s first-ever simulcast with PBS, the addition of the Stellar Awards, and the successful launch of a new original movie a month. A former lawyer, Proctor’s legal mind comes in handy when negotiating with production companies. “Success,” she says, “is loving who you are becoming, loving what you do and how you do it, and being appreciated for all.”
