Plasse’s recent successes include overseeing the legal transition of the H2 Network to Viceland with distributors in the US and in the Caribbean with a 100% success rate. Her achievements are based on a strong background in the industry, previously working at HBO, Greenberg Traurig and Cravath, Swaine & Moore. When it comes to negotiating, she comes to the table prepared. “If you have an objection to a term or language that is being proposed, be prepared to present a clear rationale for the objection as well as an alternative approach,” she says. Plasse balances life at home with her five-year-old twin boys.
