Katherine Pope

Content production hasn’t necessarily been consistent since the start of the pandemic, but Pope’s agility has kept the Spectrum Originals pipeline full of new offerings. She’s commissioned several series, released two international co-productions and teamed up with Paramount Television Studios to greenlight two other series. Remember her name in the coming months when series like “Joe Pickett” and psychological thriller “Angela Black” arrive for Spectrum customers. Taking a break away from a traditional 9-5 to care for children or experience something new is only a positive experience in the long run for those who choose that path, Pope believes. “Embrace the perspective that you gained and all the ways it will make you a stronger leader!” she says.

Best advice for someone looking to re-enter the workforce after a hiatus?
A hiatus is a positive, not a negative! Embrace the perspective that you gained and all the ways it will make you a stronger leader!

What one female empowerment book do you think every woman should read?
“The Heroine’s Journey,” by Maureen Murdock. She re-frames the “hero’s journey” to trace specifically the paths women are often forced into. It’s a fascinating read that creates new archetypes for female-centric storytelling.
