“Bobby has been a dedicated member of Discovery’s Ad Sales leadership team since he joined the organization nearly 15 years ago,” said Jon Steinlauf, chief U.S. ad sales officer at Discovery. “He has consistently showcased his unparalleled pricing and planning acumen throughout his tenure, most notably following this past Upfront season where we successfully demonstrated to clients and agency partners the breadth and value of the newly expanded Discovery portfolio. His promotion is well earned and much deserved.”
