TV stalwart Geraldine Laybourne joins US publisher

Electronic Arts has named Geraldine Laybourne as the newest member of its  Board of Directors.

Laybourne is the founder of Oxygen Media – a television network launched in 2000 targeted at younger women – where she served as chairman and chief executive officer until 2007.

She also served as president of Disney/ABC Cable Networks where she played a key role in management of ABC's Saturday morning children's programming schedule.

Prior to this, Laybourne served 16 years at Nickelodeon, managing the television network and establishing herself as a pioneer in creating innovative programming for children.
