“I am thrilled to join the DEI team.

In her new role, Collins will create and implement internal DEI programs, such as “designing business unit specific programs focused on recruitment, retention, progression, performance management, leadership development and employee engagement; working with executives in the region to further embed DEI in all areas of WBD’s operations; and shepherding the growth of WBD’s Business Resource Groups,” according to a memo.

Discovery, where she led the team responsible for providing HR support to cast and crew members working on the company’s global productions. She also worked at Netflix as the director of production HR, overseeing the global team focused on providing human resource support to production cast and crews. Collins has also held HR leadership positions at Warner Bros. Entertainment and NBCUniversal.
“Lisa is already a highly respected member of the WBD team who deeply understands our employee population and has seen first-hand the positive impact equity and inclusion initiatives have on the corporate, creative and production processes,” Sadiq said. “She is the perfect person to accelerate our employee programs throughout the region and will be an invaluable addition to my senior team.”
