Tiffany Smith-Anoa'i…. incredibly gifted communicator.

Ms Smith-Anoa'i will report to and support Thomas on initiatives that foster and celebrate diversity across the company, while continuing to report to Ender for all her ongoing and developing CBS Communications duties.

She will also work with CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler on new and existing programmes that recruit, nurture and hire diverse talent to work in front of and behind the camera of CBS programming. In addition, Ms Smith-Anoa'i will serve as a liaison to multicultural coalition groups and provide outreach to agencies, guilds and other industry organizations that represent diverse talent.
Ms Smith-Anoa'i segues to her new position after nine years in the Company's Media Relations and Publicity department.
She most recently served as Director, Communications.

In addition to publicising a wide range of entertainment programming, she developed communication strategies for diversity programmes and managed the internship and mentoring programme for the department. "Expanding our diversity outreach and promoting a culture of inclusiveness continues to be a top priority at CBS," said Ms Thomas. "The addition of Tiffany brings another strong voice to our efforts within our company and in the communities we serve, and an energetic, thoughtful and dedicated new executive with the specific mandate to help us grow existing programs and develop new plans that support a multicultural environment in all aspects of Entertainment."

Ms Smith-Anoa'i, who will be based at CBS's West Coast headquarters at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Calif., will also continue in her key role with the CBS Communications department, working on entertainment programming while communicating the Company's diversity activities both internally and externally.
"Tiffany is an incredibly gifted communicator who has already made a significant contribution to the work of our department," said Mr Ender.
"Now she will bring those talents to her expanded role as an important member of our diversity effort, where the role of communications could not be more crucial.

"As she combines her skills as a communicator with her understanding of the entertainment process, I know Tiffany will be a great ambassador for CBS both inside the company and with all our key constituents in the industry."
