“I can’t remember a more pivotal moment during my life than the moment we find ourselves in today," said Holm.

“I’m beyond thrilled to announce the addition of these eight talented and committed individuals to join the ranks of the current board and standing on the foundation left by all who served before. The future of GSN looks very bright.”

GSN Planet welcomes the following newly elected members to the board:
  • Julie Andrews, chief creative officer, Kerstin Florian
