Derek Chang

Expanding the global footprint of Scripps brands is all in a day’s work for Chang, who moved into his newly created post last spring. With a sharp eye on maintaining strong, sound brands and ensuring they’re smartly programmed with a combination of US and internationally commissioned content, he continues to elevate international distribution for networks including the recent launch of Food Network in Italy and in China via digital platforms. In working with employees across the globe, “Seeing their creativity through the lens of their various cultures has shown me that diversity today is about taking different experiences and perspectives and putting them together to create something wholly stronger,” Chang says.
