About Carrie

Carrie Regan Media LLC is a media development and production company specializing in content development, unscripted programming, and international content collaborations.

I’m 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.

I launched my career at National Geographic Television (NGT), where I spent over a dozen years in staff positions in both content development and production.  Given my prior experience in Africa, I was often tapped to organize expeditions to some of the most challenging locations around the globe.

I’ve trekked into distant forests in Tanzania in search of chimps with Jane Goodall, searched for monster pythons in remote Congolese swamps, and camped in locations ranging from the middle of the Sahara to the flanks of an active Guatemalan volcano.  In 2002, I was part of the three-person crew that tracked down the “Afghan Girl,” subject of the famous 1985 National Geographic Magazine cover; the subsequent film and magazine story helped raise millions of dollars to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

I’ve held executive roles with some of the biggest unscripted content brands in the world. As Vice President of Global Content Production with Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), I fostered high-quality, cost-effective production collaborations across regions and around the world for its unscripted networks (including Discovery, HGTV, TLC, Travel Channel, Science Channel, Food Network, and more), working closely with teams at WBD-owned Polish broadcaster TVN. I also cultivated relationships with domestic and international film commissions and promoted the use of production incentives across WBD’s unscripted portfolio.

As Vice President of Series Development at NGT, I doubled the number of program hours sold within my first year and increased it each subsequent year, creating and/or overseeing the development of up to ninety hours/$20 million in programming each year that included hits like Monster Fish, Border Wars, Undercover History, Dogtown and Alaska Wingmen.

As an executive producer with lifestyle network HGTV, I oversaw hit series like House Hunters International and launched the popular Emmy-nominated home renovation series Fixer to Fabulous.

In my spare time, I’m passionate about crafting thrillers that keep readers turning pages long past their bedtimes. My thriller Your Last Life has been optioned by Vendome, producer of 2022 Best Picture CODA.  The Wine Forger, my thriller about an unlikely forger of high-end wine, was optioned by Zin Haze Productions, producer of the Alan Rickman-helmed film Bottle Shock.

Imbued with a spirit to serve after college, I volunteered as a park ranger at Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, then spent three years as a Public Health Specialist with the US Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa, where I produced health education videos in the local language.

A fitness buff and amateur triathlete, I’m an Ironman finisher, a multiple marathon finisher, an NASM Certified Personal Trainer, and a Certified Spinning Instructor.  I speak conversational French and Spanish, can get by in Malinké, and toss out phrases in several other African languages.  A summa cum laude graduate of Boston University’s College of Communication, I hold an Executive MBA with Distinction from Trinity College Dublin.
