"Brooke is so personable and has such finely tuned creative instincts she could do anything she wants in this business,” said Comedy Central president of content development and original programming Kent Alterman, to whom she reports. “I’m just grateful she’s letting me be her boss.”

During her tenure at Comedy Central, Posch has overseen the development of series including Inside Amy Schumer and the Amy Poehler-produced Broad City -- which was renewed for a second season this week. She's currently developing projects featuring Hannibal Buress, Chris Gethard as well as Above Average, Lorne Michaels' digital platform.

Posch, a member of The Hollywood Reporter's 2013 Next Gen list, got her start as Michaels' assistant at Saturday Night Live and was MTV's vp comedy and animation, among other positions.
