Before joining Discovery, she worked at WebMD in various enterprise, marketing, and data leadership positions, ultimately serving as head of strategic partnerships and data strategy. Earlier in her career, she spent 8 years at NBCUniversal Media, LLC & GE, where she worked across the NBCUniversal portfolio leading teams in the areas of cross platform research, enterprise marketing, and consumer insights. Singh got her start in media as an analyst at Nielsen Media Research.

Scott Felenstein, president, sales, marketing & partnerships with National CineMedia said, “Manu has a broad and extensive background in research, data strategy, and audience insights across television and digital platforms, which is a great fit for NCM at this exciting time for our company. Our young, cord-cutting audiences are going back to theaters in droves, but they’re not going back to linear TV. I look forward to working together with her to help brands discover innovative new ways to connect with these valuable movie fans across all of our NCM big screen, digital, and digital-out-of-home platforms.”
