About Carrie
Carrie Regan Media LLC is a media development and production company specializing story development, unscripted programming and international content collaborations.
Carrie is a television executive with over 25 years of experience creating compelling programming for some of the top unscripted networks in the industry, from National Geographic and HGTV to the Travel Channel and Discovery.
She began her career at National Geographic Television, where, over the course of 14 years, she held staff positions in both story development and production. Prior to landing at NGT, she lived in West Africa for four years–experience that came in handy when called upon to organize challenging expeditions to difficult locations for National Geographic. She’s trekked into distant forests in Tanzania to track wild chimps with Jane Goodall, searched for monster pythons in the depths of the Congo and camped in locations ranging from the middle of the Sahara to the flanks of an active Guatemalan volcano. Perhaps most memorably, 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.
In addition to her production skills, Carrie has a knack for developing and selling commercial documentary television projects. She spent over five years at the helm of series development at NGT, doubling the number of series hour commissions within her first year and increasing it each subsequent year, creating and/or overseeing the development of up to ninety hours of programming each year that included hits like Monster Fish, Border Wars, Undercover History, Dogtown and Alaska Wingmen.
Most recently, as Vice President of Global Content Production for Warner Bros Discovery, she collaborated with networks, film commissions, and production partners around the world to develop creative, cost-effective global production opportunities.
In the six years prior to this role she developed and oversaw content for HGTV as Executive Producer on such series as House Hunters International, Caribbean Life, and Fixer to Fabulous.
Carrie has served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guinea, West Africa, where she produced health education videos in the local language. Post college she also volunteered as a park ranger at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. A fitness buff and amateur triathlete, she’s an Ironman finisher, multiple marathon finisher, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and ITCA Certified Triathlon Coach who teaches Spinning in her spare time (check out her fitness coaching site here). She speaks French, decent Spanish, Malinké, a smattering of several other African languages, and is a summa cum laude graduate of Boston University’s College of Communication.
