Brooke Johnson

Title: President, Food Network
Age: 50-something
Education: BA, Northwestern; MSJ, Medill
Social Media Quotient: 3

Why Her? Johnson continues to propel Food into the ratings and pop-culture stratosphere.

As Johnson continues to guide Food into increasingly lofty heights, it’s interesting to note that she’s also a classically trained pianist. Fitting since her leadership has been music to Scripps’ ears.
