Carrie Regan

Carrie Regan is a seasoned media professional and storyteller with over 25 years of experience in content development, unscripted programming, and cost-effective production solutions. Currently she’s a media consultant and content strategist with Global Content Strategies.

Carrie has held executive roles with some of the biggest unscripted content brands in the world. As Vice President of Global Content Production with Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), she fostered high-quality, cost-effective production collaborations across regions and around the world for its unscripted networks (including Discovery, HGTV, TLC, Travel Channel, Science Channel, Food Network and more), working closely with teams at WBD-owned Polish broadcaster TVN. She also cultivated relationships with domestic and international film commissions and promoted the use of production incentives across WBD’s unscripted portfolio.

She launched her career at National Geographic Television (NGT), where she spent nearly 14 years in staff positions in both content development and production.  Given her prior experience in Africa, she was often tapped to organize expeditions to some of the most challenging locations around the globe.  She’s trekked into distant forests in Tanzania in search of chimps with Jane Goodall, searched for monster pythons in remote Congolese swamps and camped in locations ranging from the middle of the Sahara to the flanks of an active Guatemalan volcano.  In 2002, Carrie was part of the three-person crew that tracked down the “Afghan Girl,” subject of the famous 1985 National Geographic Magazine cover; the subsequent film and magazine story helped raise millions of dollars to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

As Vice President of Series Development at NGT, she doubled the number of program hours sold within her first year and increased it each subsequent year, creating and/or overseeing the development of up to ninety hours/$20 million in programming each year that included hits like Monster Fish, Border Wars, Undercover History, Dogtown and Alaska Wingmen.

A past executive producer with lifestyle network HGTV, she oversaw such hits as House Hunters International and launched the popular Emmy-nominated home renovation series Fixer to Fabulous.

In her spare time, she enjoys crafting novels that keep readers feverishly turning pages long past their bedtimes.  Her thriller Your Last Life was recently optioned by Vendome, producer of 2022 Best Picture CODA.  The Wine Forger, her thriller about an unlikely forger of high-end wine, was optioned by Zin Haze Productions, producer of the Alan Rickman-helmed film Bottle Shock.

In her adventurous younger days Carrie served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guinea, West Africa, producing health education videos in the local language, and crawled around caves in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico as a volunteer park ranger.

A recovering fitness buff and amateur triathlete, she’s an Ironman finisher, multiple marathon finisher, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and certified Spinning Instructor.  She speaks French, can get by in Spanish and Malinké, and toss out phrases in several other African languages.  A summa cum laude graduate of Boston University’s College of Communication, Carrie’s currently pursuing an executive MBA with Trinity College Dublin.
