This strategic move showcases the company’s dedication to nurturing relationships and expanding its creative network.
Catherine Yan Lustro Steps into Senior Director Role

In this pivotal role, Catherine will spearhead the development and management of Shondaland’s consumer product strategies, particularly those rooted in their intellectual properties (IP). From product conception to launch, she will play a crucial part in shaping how Shondaland engages with its audience beyond traditional media formats.
In addition, Catherine will collaborate closely with Shondaland’s partners to create live experiences tied to content, enhancing fan engagement.
