White will relocate from Knoxville, Tennessee, to New York, where she will focus solely on the company’s food brands.

\u201cCourtney has been instrumental to the growth of both Food Network and HGTV, turning talented home experts and everyday chefs into treasured, household names,\u201d said Finch.\u00a0\u201cWith her strategic eye on Food Network and Allison\u2019s on HGTV, we\u2019ll ensure these iconic brands continue to delight our passionate fans and maximize their unique value to our advertising and affiliate partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been gratifying to work alongside Courtney to develop compelling shows with endearing hosts that have made these brands so beloved,\u201d noted Page. \u201cHer creative genius and deep understanding of our audience make her an incredible leader in this business, and I can\u2019t wait to see what she does next.\u201d<\/p>\n
