General info :
Dawn Ostroff is the current Chief Content Officer of Spotify and the former President of Entertainment of The CW and President of Condé Nast Entertainment.
Identifying an untapped revenue stream, Ostroff and Condé Nast CEO Bob Sauerberg launched CNE in 2011, an in-house production and distribution studio for digital video, film, and TV.

Ostroff began her career in news as a reporter for WINZ, a CBS affiliate in Miami. She also worked in local news at WPLG and WTVJ in Miami.

Ostroff joined Lifetime Television in October 1996 as Senior Vice President, Programming and Production. She was Executive Vice President of Lifetime starting in 1999.

Ostroff served as President of UPN Entertainment from February 11, 2002 until 2006, when she helped start The CW, considered America's youngest skewing broadcast network. Ostroff was in charge of the network’s primetime slate and all creative efforts of the network, overseeing such areas as current programming, series development, scheduling, research, marketing, and publicity.

She ultimately announced that she would be leaving the network in 2011, after which she was appointed President of Condé Nast Entertainment.

When Ostroff made the move to CNE in 2011, Condé Nast tasked her with digesting its 19 magazine brands and more than 100,000 articles and developing these stories into film, TV and digital videos under the banner of Condé Nast Entertainment. Condé Nast’s parent company Advance Publications invested more than $50 million in CNE, which now has more than 300 employees in New York and Los Angeles, and turned a high-seven-figure profit in 2016, just five years after CNE’s creation. TV veteran Ostroff grew Condé Nast Entertainment’s content umbrella to include diverse forms of media, from films, like Only the Brave adapted from a GQ feature, to virtual reality projects, such as Invisible, a supernatural series shot in VR. The division has major projects including the film The Old Man & the Gun, with Robert Redford, and King of the Jungle, set to star Johnny Depp; TV projects including Last Chance U on Netflix, Vanity Fair Confidential on Investigation Discovery and Most Expensivest, a digital series that evolved into a TV show on Viceland. Additionally, through its digital franchises, such as Vogue’s “73 Questions” and WIRED’s “Autocomplete Interview,” CNE makes about 5,000 videos a year, garnering more than 11 billion views in 2017.

On June 26th, 2018 it was announced that Ostroff would join Spotify to 'lead all aspects of Spotify’s content partnerships across music, audio and video.'


Ostroff was born to a Jewish family and is a graduate of Florida International University in Miami, Florida, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in journalism. She resides in New York, NY with her husband Mark Ostroff and their four children.

Ostroff has also devoted herself over the years to working with several organizations such as A Place Called Home, which helps children in South Central Los Angeles, and the Independent School Alliance as well as the American Jewish Committee.
