96. Greg Regis

SVP, Ad Sales, Travel Channel

Under Regis’ leadership, Travel Channel has exceeded ad sales expectations for all three years that it has been under the Scripps umbrella. His team continues to win new business in the automotive, tech and financial services, and wine/spirits categories, and he developed an integrated selling strategy that focused on audience research to outline the strength of Travel Channel viewers as trend-setting consumers. Perhaps most importantly, Regis is a dedicated team player known for equipping his sales force with the strategy and skills to succeed. His proudest accomplishment so far in 2013? “The fact that six of the people on my various teams have been promoted this year,” he says.
