Jennifer Dangar

EVP, Distribution & Business Development
The Weather Channel Companies

This has been a year of transition for Dangar, who left her SVP of Domestic Distribution job at Discovery Networks in July 2010 to join The Weather Channel Companies, where she heads distribution and development for the Atlanta, GA-based iconic brand.

The Most Challenging Part of Her Job: “The escalation of rhetoric and inflexibility in negotiations due to increased pressure on the bottom line on both sides of the table. So many of these tough and complex conversations limit creativity and the ability to try and find a way to continue to grow together.”

Her Non-Professional Obsession: “My 5-year-old ‘mini-me,’ Grace Margaret.”
