Logo, the LGBT
branch of MTV Networks, has named Lisa Sherman executive
vice president and general manager.
Sherman has been
senior vice president of Logo for the past two
years and has been involved with such programs
as Noah's Arc, The Big Gay Sketch Show, and
the network's newest offering, Transamerican Love Story.
Sherman was also
responsible for coordinating the first LGBT presidential
forum, Visible Vote '08, a Logo-Human Rights Campaign
effort in which six Democratic presidential candidates
came together last August to discuss issues of
interest to LGBT voters.
In announcing
Sherman's promotion, Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks
Music and Logo Group, said, "Lisa's energy and passion not
only has helped build the Logo brand but made it a
destination for the LGBT audience to feel empowered,
reflected, and entertained by." (The Advocate)
