Nancy
Abraham
EVP & Co-Head,
Documentary
Programming
HBO
Abraham and
Lisa Heller have
co-run HBO's documentary programming
since 2017 and have remained
at the forefront of the genre to ensure
HBO is a premier destination for
veteran and new filmmakers. Their
recent projects delve into a gamut
of topics, from examining George
Carlin's comic genius in the rear-view
mirror to the Janes, who risked their
lives to help women in need in the
pre-Roe v. Wade era.
I wish I'd been told early in
my career to spend time
living and working in
another country if you can. I ended up
doing that, but it was kind of against
the prescribed, traditional path of
success. I took a side route to work for
HBO in Budapest and those years
were among the most illuminating and
foundational of my career. "
Nina Diaz
President, Content
& Chief Creative
Officer
Paramount Media
Networks & MTV
Entertainment
Studios
Known for developing programming
that challenges cultural norms, Diaz
understands the power of authentic
storytelling and she's using it to bring
mental health challenges to the public
conscience. An agent of change,
Diaz launched a " Culture Orientation "
initiative that all in-house producers,
crew, talent and key production company
partners will participate in, and
she hopes one day will be adopted
industrywide.
As a storyteller, I am
constantly looking for a new
way to shape a genre, shift
the conversation and impact culture in
new and meaningful ways. By
embracing change in our industry,
we've found fresh authentic voices
and stories that have pushed us into
new mindsets, from honoring culture
to creating a sense of belonging. "

Nancy
Daniels
Chief of Content
TBS, TNT, TruTV,
Discovery,
Animal Planet &
Science
Daniels takes extra steps to ensure
Warner Bros. Discovery is fueling
the future of scientific exploration.
She led a partnership with nonprofit
The Explorers Club to create a grant
program that's supported more than
27 expeditions thus far. She's also
revamped programming strategies
to support the power of Discovery+
and the still-thriving linear model
and oversaw the creation of 100-plus
hours of spinoff content from core
franchises like " Deadliest Catch. "
My personal theme song is
Kelly Clarkson's 'Stronger
(What Doesn't Kill You).' "
Nicolle Pangis
CEO
Ampersand
Pangis has successfully rebranded
Ampersand into a leader in audience-first
data. Its AND platform now
counts nearly 42 million authenticated
homes as well as the largest
addressable TV footprint among its
competitors. Under Pangis, that addressable
business has grown more
than 200% YOY on average since
2018. Ampersand also deployed its
national addressable solution across
its footprint and struck new partnerships
with LiveRamp and Altice USA.
Nina
Rosenstein
EVP, Programming
Specials, Late-Night
& Unscripted Series
HBO
Rosenstein's sharp instincts and
creative vision help define the HBO
slate. She champions singular talent
and genre-defying formats across
a variety of genres, consistently
delivering unique series and specials
that set trends. Among her standouts
from the past year were the return of
John Oliver's and Bill Maher's signature
shows and the debut of " Back on
the Record with Bob Costas. "
Something I wish I'd been
told early in my career:
moms are usually right, but I
wish someone had told me that
sometimes it's OK not to listen to their
career advice. If I had listened to
mine, I'd still be at a job that seemed
prestigious but was all wrong for me.
Trust your instincts. "
Noopur Davis
EVP, Chief Information Security & Product
Privacy Officer
Comcast Corp.
In addition to leading cybersecurity
across the entire Comcast organization,
Davis serves on the advisory
board of Comcast/NBCUniversal
TechWomen, leads D&I efforts, speaks
at industry forums and personally
mentors several people, including
some of her peers at partner companies.
A champion of women in technical
and non-technical roles, she leads
by example and is always looking to
support others.
A quote I find inspiring is
from Will Durant: 'We are
what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, therefore, is not an act but
a habit.' "
