Katie Coteman

As the Head of Ad Sales at Discovery Inc, UK, Ireland, and International, Katie is responsible for managing ad sales, partnerships, and digital sales for Discovery’s D2C and linear channels. This includes Discovery, Eurosport, TLC, ID, Really, Quest, Quest Red, Animal Planet, Food Network, DMAX & HGTV, as well as our brand-new SVOD service, discovery+.

Katie has overseen a significant change in the 10 years she has been at Discovery. She has been involved in the launch of Quest, TLC, and Quest Red. She was also instrumental in integrating Scripps, which brought Food Network into the portfolio of Discovery’s channels. As part of this acquisition, Discovery struck a deal with UKTV that further expanded the network with Really and HGTV.

Katie was also responsible for the launch of Discovery's first free streaming product, Quest OD, back in 2018.
