Barbara Jaffe

SVP, Advanced Technology & Operations
HBO

Since joining HBO in 1980, Jaffe has climbed the network’s career ladder rung by rung. She now oversees HBO’s technical relationships and points to two accomplishments she is most proud of: “The transition from sales to the technology side many years ago; and, more recently, the opportunity to lead the technical team in the launch of HBO Go and MAX Go… The surge of broadband platforms and devices is making our products available to consumers on more devices, and enriches the offering of our distributors.”
