CHRISTY’S BIO

This talk is a master class on the media & entertainment world and the disruptive forces changing it from someone who has been a media executive, trailblazing entrepreneur and Hollywood super-agent. Christy Haubegger most recently served as EVP of Communications and Chief Inclusion Officer for WarnerMedia leading an organization of 450 executives, spanning Communications, Corporate Marketing, Corporate Social Responsibility. She oversaw all corporate communications and marketing for WarnerMedia as well as Warner Bros., HBO and HBO Max, CNN, TBS, and TNT.

At CAA, she worked closely with clients such as Eva Longoria, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, America Ferrera, among others and led the drive to increase the representation of women and people of color in the content business. USC’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative estimated that CAA grew the diversity of its roster by more than 1400% in her tenure. She also created CAA Amplify, an invitation-only convening of diverse artists and leaders from entertainment, sports, media, and brands, focused on accelerating the growth, value, and visibility of diversity in business.

Brooks’ “Spanglish,” starring Adam Sandler. Prior to that, she founded and served as CEO of Latina magazine in 1996 and quickly became the leading media platform for U.S. Hispanic women. A real trailblazer and Latina pioneer, she was the youngest woman to be inducted into the American Advertising Federation & Advertising Hall of Achievement and has been profiled and interviewed by numerous media outlets including CNN, NPR, NBC Nightly News, Elle magazine, Vogue, Vanity Fair and the Today Show. Recently, the Hollywood Reporter named her on their list of the Most Powerful Latinos in Hollywood.
