SVP, Marketing, Creative Services and PR, Food Category, Scripps Network Interactive
While heavily involved with what viewers see on the Food Network and Cooking Channels themselves, Fogelson also focuses on what fans see beyond their televisions. She has been key in aligning the outlets with popular food-space bloggers, such as Pioneer Woman and Hungry Girl, as well as overseeing Food Network’s brand partnership with Major League Baseball. She has also played a major role in Food Network’s Good Food Gardens initiative—a partnership with Share Our Strength—that teaches children about nutrition. For a month, she’d job swap with Jeff Bezos. “It would be wonderful leading the charge for one of today’s most dynamic companies that’s really poised for the future,” she says.
