Robin Thomas

As the new leader of the company’s research department, Thomas ensures her team is developing and executing comprehensive, integrated research procedures that support Crown Media’s overarching strategic business plan. She hit the ground running this year, reinventing internal research reporting and revolutionizing the company’s data analysis by implementing segmentation studies that have made great strides in analyzing viewer trends across the linear and streaming landscape. “Take advantage of the areas you have grown that are valuable in the workplace, such as managing a household, community involvement or simply expanding your network,” she says to peers returning to work after a hiatus. “Tap in to all of that.”
