The National Association of Television Program Executives has appointed a new Executive Board to guide NATPE’s long-term strategy.

“This Board embodies the innovative, cross-platform spirit that defines today’s content landscape,” said Claire Macdonald (pictured), SVP and executive director, NATPE. “Their collective insight will be critical as NATPE continues evolving into a truly global hub for content commerce and creative collaboration.”

The new Executive Board members are: Brad Beale, head of Worldwide Content Licensing & Distribution, Amazon MGM Studios; Kevin Beggs, chair and chief creative officer, Lionsgate Television Group; Michael Bonner, president, Global TV Distribution, NBCUniversal; Val Boreland, president, Entertainment, Versant; Flory Bramnick, EVP, Distribution, Sony Pictures Television; Brandon Brito, senior Programming executive, Apple TV+; Dan Cohen, former chief content licensing officer, Paramount Global Content Distribution; Lori Conkling, vice president, Licensing, Netflix; David Decker, president, Content Sales, Warner Bros. Discovery; Elaine Frontain-Bryant, EVP, head of Programming, A&E, Lifetime; and Rebecca Glashow, chief executive Officer, BBC Global Media & Streaming, BBC Studios.

The Executive Board will play a distinct role from NATPE’s annual Content Advisory Boards, by focusing on big picture issues like global market navigation, strategic expansion, and industry connectivity.

NATPE Global will return to Miami from February 4–6, 2026, at the InterContinental Miami, once again co-located with Realscreen Summit, which runs February 2–4, 2026.
