Sara Hinzman
VP, Distribution
A+E Networks
With several high-profile accounts including Comcast, Cablevision and NCTC, Hinzman leads several cross-functional teams in addition to sales where she consistently posts numbers that typically beat sales projections. Indeed, she just closed several long-term contracts with top-10 MVPDs in the U.S., as well as 90% of Canadian deals that include multiplatform rights. In addition, she has developed new revenue-generating EST and TVOD products and tools to optimize subscriber tracking. If you don’t believe us, just ask her boss A+E Nets pres, distribution David Zagin, who told us she “knows this business cold and consistently provides strategic guidance to me and my team.” Comcast regional SVP LeAnn Talbot praises Hinzman’s dedication to a “positive spirit and a focus on building a strong partnership dedicated to a win/win. And she delivers!” Go, Sara!
