Rosenstein’s sharp instincts and creative vision help define the HBO slate. She champions singular talent and genre-defying formats across a variety of genres, consistently delivering unique series and specials that set trends. Among her standouts from the past year were the return of John Oliver’s and Bill Maher’s signature shows and the debut of “Back on the Record with Bob Costas.”
“Something I wish I’d been told early in my career: moms are usually right, but I wish someone had told me that sometimes it’s OK not to listen to their career advice. If I had listened to mine, I’d still be at a job that seemed prestigious but was all wrong for me. Trust your instincts.”
