CMO, Turner Broadcasting Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media
A bachelor’s of science degree in chemical engineering and a MBA in marketing and finance (both from the University of Maryland) may sound like an unlikely combination, but it actually drives Piper to bring a creative and business-minded eye to her work. That work now includes more interaction with David Levy, who in August took over responsibility for the Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media department. One of her favorite sayings: “Great marketing amounts to a positive mix of art and science!” Piper also has made herself available to help counsel others, including graduate students and professional working women through organizations such as Turner Broadcasting’s Turner Women Today and Black Professionals at Turner.
