Susan
Swain
President & Co-CEO
C-SPAN
2022 was Swain's
40th year at
C-SPAN and
10th as co-CEO, marked by restructuring
and the hiring of its first chief
digital officer to guide digital strategy.
Through C-SPAN's internship
program and C-SPAN in the Classroom,
Swain is devoted to inspiring
next-generation interest-especially
in young women-in Washington,
politics, policy and media.
Since working on our
biography series on first
ladies, I've kept this quote
from Eleanor Roosevelt taped to my
computer monitor: 'Courage is more
exhilarating than fear and in the long
run it is easier. We do not have to
become heroes overnight. Just one
step at a time, meeting each thing that
comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful
as it appeared, discovering we have
the strength to stare it down.' "
Teresa Elder
CEO
WOW!
Elder is transforming WOW! and
carrying it into its next era. She's
brought the vision of WOW! Mobile
to life across the provider's footprint
and crafted a plan that will see the
company reach 400,000 new homes
through greenfield expansions by
2027. Broadband speeds in those
homes will be lightning fast with
WOW! now offering 1.2 Gig service
in every market it serves.
Balancing home and work
life is still a challenge for
many women. Men have
this challenge too, but, as we saw
during the pandemic, much of the
weight of home life still falls to
women. I'm glad to see more women
rejoining the workforce. A hybrid
approach to work, like WOW!'s,
benefits all workers but the added
flexibility is especially helpful to those
with families. "
Sylvia George
EVP, Media & Performance Marketing
AMC Networks
George is known for her creative and
analytical approach to growing audiences.
And she's been climbing the
company ladder since she served as
GM of what's now called ALLBLK, led
the streaming service through its acquisition
by AMC Nets and oversaw
triple-digit subscriber growth as GM
from 2018-20. She also chairs the DEI
brand task force.
I draw inspiration from this
Lily Tomlin quote: 'The road
to success is always under
construction.' "
Tara August
SVP, Talent Relations & Special Projects
Warner Bros. Discovery Sports
August ensures Turner's original
sports programming always feels
fresh by elevating new, diverse perspectives.
She's added folks like Cari
Champion and Draymond Green to
" The Arena " while re-signing Candace
Parker as an analyst for TNT.
August is also a star recruiter for
Turner's charity efforts, nabbing stars
like Stephen Curry for Capital One's
The Match: Champions for Change.
The golf tournament raised more
than $6.4 million for HBCUs.
Favorite life hack: If you
wake up early you get more
done in the day! "

Tara Duncan
President
Freeform & Onyx Collective
Duncan keeps the Freeform brand
fresh, recently ordering up its first
animated series, " Praise Petey, " and
re-entering the unscripted space with
" Keep This Between Us, " which ranks
as the net's highest-rated unscripted
debut ever. She's also acquired
a diverse slate of projects for the
newly created Onyx Collective, with
its first-ever scripted series, " Reasonable
Doubt, " earning critical acclaim.
Success is measured
in working with people I
respect and the relationships
I carry throughout my career. I
try not to get too caught up in the
hits, the misses or the awards but stay
focused on making each day and
project a worthwhile experience. "
