90. Roger Henry

VP, Programming & Development, Investigation Discovery

Throughout this year and next, ID will launch its largest-ever slate of programming. That puts Henry in the hot seat for piecing together an elaborate schedule comprised of a staggering 22 returning hits and 15 new original series, including “Surviving Evil,” “Deadline: Crime With Tamron Hall” and “Southern Fried Homicide.” Henry is also responsible for strategizing each program’s distribution across multiple new-media platforms, all part of the carefully crafted model that led to ID’s achieving 45 consecutive months of year-over-year primetime gains among HH, P/W25-54 and P2+ delivery. Good thing this executive has creative insights, business acumen—and energy—to spare.
