Gita Rebbapragada
COO
Crunchyroll
Rebbapragada has been a
catalyst of transformation
at Crunchyroll after helping
navigate the company through
its acquisition by Sony. For

Gen Zers have opinions about change, and
specifically the rate at which things need to
change-which is markedly different. It is
inspiring. "
Jane Rhodes
SVP, Head of Corporate Security
Charter Communications
Rhodes' role boils down to
protecting Charter, providing
essential training and security
protection for the company's
facilities and employees. Not a
particularly easy task, but after
years in the FBI, she remains
calm under pressure. Rhodes oversees a diverse team
at Charter and is passionate about bringing junior-level
women into roles and helping them to develop.
From my early years of bossing around my little
brothers and being bossed around by my big
sisters, being part of the solution is important
to me. I am proud of my ability to bring disparate views
together with a focus on an important mission in
demanding environments. "
Noga Rosenthal
General Counsel/CPO
Ampersand
This year has witnessed the
storm of AI, and Rosenthal is
at the eye of the hurricane.

of the House of Representatives and the Senate
regarding the introduction of privacy bills. At Ampersand,
her all-female legal team is crucial in creating
new standards and technologies for consumer data
security. Rosenthal is also an active member of IAPP's
Women Leading Privacy Advisory Board and the IAB
Privacy Working Group.
Working in your comfort zone may sound good
to some, and that's OK. But to me it is a sign to
move on to a new job. I want to keep learning
about new technologies like Generative AI. "

When I mentor, I am constantly reminded
that I will never be the most intelligent

the answers. I will always be learning. "
