Rich Ross
President, Disney Channels Worldwide

If you're sick of Hannah Montana, The Cheetah Girls, or High School Musical, blame Rich Ross. He has orchestrated the rise and global spread of that wildly popular, hyper, squealy, and lucrative brand of entertainment through a network of nearly 100 channels in 163 countries and 32 languages. A lifelong TV addict, Ross has expanded Disney's channels beyond the box into film, radio, mobile, and online. His latest gambit: Disney XD, targeting tween boys with the help of "brother network" ESPN. -- by Jeff Chu

Congrats! It would be super if Ross could weave his magic and get CBC's (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Little Mosque on the Prairie to a larger audience.

Quotes

“Kids on the street can tell you what my priorities are,” Mr. Ross said. “I’m a wild optimist. You see that thread through anything we do. There are hard times, and there are not-so-hard times, but at the end it is an O.K. world.”
- Oh, Grow Up, Mr. Ross, NY Times
