I work on branded entertainment partnerships with companies and advertising agencies in Brazil. My role includes the coordination of productions together with advertising agencies and production companies and doing the interface between the São Paulo and Miami offices for the development of these projects.

First and foremost, I am responsible for the scheduling for all programs for Destination America and Military Channel with the goal of optimizing ratings by leveraging the existing programming inventory and new premieres. In addition, I oversee the programming budgets, ensuring we are spending our money strategically. I then work closely with other departments such as development, production, communications, research, marketing and ad sales to ensure both networks direction and vision needs are met.

I am responsible for managing business negotiations, drafting and negotiating programming agreements for Discovery’s domestic networks and Discovery’s in-house production studio, Discovery Studios, as well as advising the various Discovery business units. Each business deal I work on, and production legal issue I trouble shoot, is unlike the last, and provides me with endless opportunities for growth.

I like being in a creative environment where I get to see all the projects come through before they are on the air. It’s interesting to see what makes it and what doesn’t and why.

My job is to bring our company and our channels into the press and into the public. I have to take care that Discovery is “the talk of the town” – and I love to do this. I love to work with different people from around the world. I can learn so much from the colleagues. We are one big family.

My main areas of responsibility include taking pitches from outside producers, internally generating ideas and concepts, and working with my team in order to develop new programming for the network. My favorite aspect of my job is the creative and supportive people I am surrounded by and having the opportunity to develop shows for a network I enjoy and respect.

I’m the Commercial Director for the Turkish business and am running the Istanbul office that just opened in September 2012. My main responsibility is to grow our business in Turkey, which is part of Discovery’s CEEMEA region. I like the excitement in establishing and growing a completely new business almost from scratch. It’s almost like a challenging entrepreneurial start-up venture within a large corporate business.

My main responsibility is to develop activities and events to promote our brands and specific shows trying to include ad sales an affiliates in each one of them. I bring our brands closer to the viewers through our marketing events.

My team pulls the key elements of the Southern European feeds together from all other interfacing departments including; Ad Sales, Programme Planning, Media Planning, Content Ops and build them into integrated and seamless schedules.

My main areas of responsibility are distribution of all networks and increase the revenue for the company in affiliate sales. I have the opportunity to negotiate with different kinds of clients with different conditions and opportunities in each negotiation, but always have the support of a great company like Discovery. This company is the best place to work for the way it takes care of employees, and of course all my partners because they are amazing.

I love getting to work for something I so wholeheartedly believe in. When people ask if I enjoy being at Discovery Education, my answer is always the same – I feel like I hit the jackpot of jobs. It is such a privilege to be part of an organization with the noble mission to transform education by providing cutting edge individualized learning experiences for every student – regardless of socioeconomic status, locale, or whatever odds might be against them.

As a Manager in Global Mobility, I move employees from one international location to another, to facilitate a global workforce within Discovery. And I get the opportunity to interact with some of the most creative people in the world in a company that is at the cutting edge of modern entertainment.

There is a sense of “family” within the company even as it continues to grow in size. The company sincerely cares about their employees’ well-being, both physically and emotionally, and continuously works to improve an already top-notch work-life balance model. Based on my experience, I have found that Discovery employees truly respect one another on both a professional and a personal level.

Though Discovery is a huge corporation, I always feel like I have a voice in the company, and that my voice is heard. It is inspiring to work for a company that encourages insight from all levels, and heavily encourages creativity, collaboration and professional growth.

My role contributes to the expansion of our websites and the purchase of new business models. On the distribution side, I contribute for our core business by pursuing new ways and platforms to distribute the amazing Discovery content, like VOD, Over-The-Top, TV Everywhere, etc.
