SVP, Current and Development Programming
Universal Cable Productions
Suro leads the creative team that develops drama and comedy series for Universal Cable Productions. She’s charged with creating compelling, revenue-generating storylines for shows that will air on networks outside of NBCUniversal and acts as the liaison between talent agencies, attorneys and internal business affairs execs during negotiations. Listening is a skill that’s helped her most in her career. “That interest and curiosity is a quality that appeals to creative talent – It invites them to be storytellers. It also helps me key in on where their passion lies, and I can then be instrumental in helping to mold and bring that passion to the small screen.”
