Barbara Zaneri

EVP, Programming Strategy, Scheduling and Acquisition
BET Networks

Zaneri is responsible for BET and Centric’s longterm planning and scheduling of movies, sitcoms and iconic acquisitions like “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Martin.” She’s a consummate dealmaker, evidenced in the recent “Scandal” partnership she helmed with ABC. She’s most inspired by “coming up with creative ways to do business.” Oh, and when it comes to work-life balance, she has a simple question: “There’s a trick for maintaining personal-professional life balance?! Puleese lemme know what that is!”
