It’s always the holiday season for DiPippo, who’s responsible for keeping Hallmark’s iconic “Countdown to Christmas” lineup on top. Last year, she added laughs with “Three Wise Men and a Baby” and “Haul Out the Holly,” and made the season more inclusive by incorporating different cultures, lifestyles and beliefs. DiPippo makes it look easy, but it takes a big team all year and a lot of hard work to bring Hallmark’s favorite season to life.
“My de-stresser is cooking and watching classic films. My idea of a perfect Sunday is cooking a family recipe and getting lost in a favorite old movie.”
What is something you learned by mentoring someone? I know how important it has been for me to have mentors throughout my career and I believe it’s essential to pay that experience forward with the next group of rising leaders. It makes me think more about how I lead and the honest advice that I would want to pass along. Sometimes revisiting previous situations helps to me evaluate current obstacles or approaches differently.
