Faces Of NPR is a weekly feature that showcases the people behind NPR, from the voices you hear every day on the radio to the ones who work outside of the recording studio. You'll find out about what they do and what they're inspired by on the daily.

This week, to wrap up Women's History Month, we're featuring NPR's female executives. Deborah Cowan is our Chief Financial Officer, Gina Garrubbo is the President and Chief Executive Officer of National Public Media, Meg Goldthwaite is our Chief Marketing Officer, Anya Grundmann is our Vice President of Programming and Audience Development, Gemma Hooley is our Vice President of Member Partnership, Loren Mayor is our Chief Operating Officer, Marjorie Powell is our Vice President of Human Resources, and Stephanie Witte is our Chief Development Officer.

What is your official title? What does that mean?

Deborah Cowan: Chief Financial Officer. I'm responsible for the financial leadership here at NPR. First and foremost, that means putting the roadmap in place and getting others to execute NPR's achievement of its financial aspirations. It involves overseeing NPR's financial operations, including accounting, treasury operations, and planning.

President and Chief Executive Team. We bring sponsors to NPR across all of our platforms, including events. I also oversee the NPR Spot Radio business which brings national sponsor dollars to NPR member stations.
