11. Luis Silberwasser

EVP/Chief Content Officer, Discovery Networks International

Discovery Networks International is only getting bigger, thanks to Silberwasser. The exec has built a world-class team of content creators for DNI’s production and development unit, with some of the unit’s 30 original series already renewed for second seasons. DNI is now a significant supplier for Discovery’s U.S Networks. In collaboration with Erik Logan, president of OWN, Silberwasser is overseeing the successful international rollout of an OWN block on TLC in the U.K., Central and Eastern Europe, and Discovery Home & Health in Australia. Additionally, he worked closely with Discovery Channel U.S. on the broadcast of Skywire Live, live in nearly 200 countries.
