Before joining Nat Geo in 2011, Monroe was executive VP of consumer marketing and digital platforms at Home Box Office, where she led marketing efforts for both HBO and Cinemax.
Ostroff serves as president of Condé Nast Entertainment, where she shepherds the development, production and distribution of Condé Nast’s TV, film and digital video properties. Until 2011, Ostroff helmed the CW Network, overseeing the channel’s launch, and before CW she led UPN Network.

Prior to Discovery, Schleiff helmed Crown Media Holdings, Inc., serving as president and CEO, and until 2006 was chairman and CEO of Court TV Network.
