Kate Juergens

EVP, Programming & Development
ABC Family

With Juergen’s help, ABC Family’s slate keeps growing. Take hits from this year, like “Switched at Birth” and “The Nine Lives of Chloe King.” To make that happen, she’s also a liaison with A-listers, show runners and the agent community. Pairing quality with affordability is “a pretty constant source of anxiety,” she says. “The delicate balancing act of supporting a creative vision and running a business is often – let’s say, interesting!”
