Schiller is the daughter of Ronald Schiller, a former editor at Reader’s Digest, and Lillian Schiller of Larchmont, New York.
She graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor’s degree in Russian studies and Soviet studies, and a Master’s degree in Russian from Middlebury College.
From 1985 to 1988, she worked as an interpreter and tour guide in the USSR, then began working for Turner Broadcasting as a “fixer.”
Schiller spent several years in television as a producer, working on documentaries like “Survivors of the Holocaust,” for which she shared an Emmy, and “Word Wars,” which looked at the world of competitive Scrabble.
Before arriving at NPR, Schiller was the senior vice president and general manager of NYTimes.com, where she oversaw “product, technology, marketing, classifieds, strategic planning and business development,” according to her official NPR bio.
Schiller joined NPR in January 2009 as the organization’s president and CEO.
