Laura Lee

With Lee leading the distribution charge, Hallmark Channel continues to grow and the rebranded Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is on a course of rapid expansion. Lee and her team have negotiated significant and successful launches with major affiliates nationwide, and she’ll continue the momentum she has until Hallmark Movies & Mysteries becomes a fully distributed network. “Forget the concept of work-life balance,” she says. “It does not exist.”

The entire Crown team inspires me. Each and every colleague is amazing.
