Calling her “the wonder woman of Discovery Channel” and a “creative dealmaker,” Marc Graboff, Discovery Communications’ president of global business & legal affairs, production management and studios, points to another of her greatest strengths: an innate creativity that drives innovative solutions for difficult deals.

I believe exposing someone to live, real time discussions makes the work more intriguing.”
