EVP/Chief Legal Officer
TV One
In recent months, Wishart helped craft key production deals, including one that allowed TV One to produce its first scripted series. She also is exploring potential partnerships to expand TV One’s presence in select international markets.
On Sealing the Deal: “The secret to successful negotiations is doing detailed prep work – knowing full well that regardless of how well prepared you are, a curve ball will be thrown, and you’ll have to fly by the seat of your pants to come up with creative ways to complete the deal.”
Her Motto: “Management can be mandated because anyone can make you a boss. However, leadership is a choice, not on the part of those who wish to lead, but by those who choose to follow.”
