Julia Veale
Under her leadership, Showtime Networks built a dedicated in-house product team to redefine the way consumers subscribe to and experience SHOWTIME. In 2015, her team successfully developed and launched the SHOWTIME standalone streaming service, which is available through Amazon, Apple®, Google and Roku, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, Xbox One and Oculus Go and showtime.com, and also launched SHOWTIME on Hulu, Sony PlayStation Vue, Amazon Prime Video and many more.

SHOWTIME ANYTIME now serves nearly 100% of SHOWTIME subscribers across the network’s cable, DBS and telco distributors.
