Lins does more than unify industry leaders.
She's passionate about helping content
providers, distributors, and suppliers provide
consumers with the best user experiences
possible. In order to give CTAM's 90-plus
member companies fresh, valuable insights to
develop product and marketing strategies, Lins
recently oversaw an unprecedented in-depth
study on connected-consumer behaviors and
expectations. Under Lins, the business services
program drew 3.8 million residential mover
leads to MSOs since January 2017 via CTAM's
Cable Business Connect portal. While McKinney
and CableLabs look to the future in terms of
technological innovation and where the industry
will be in coming years, Dzuban and SCTEISBE
also nurture partnerships and educational
opportunities. Among other achievements,
Dzuban has increased SCTE-ISBE's influence
abroad with a training course developed with
the UK's Society for Broadband Professionals.
Meanwhile, McKinney is charting the course
for future technology through innovations like
CableLabs' Coherent Optics, which enables
higher capacity that allows for future growth.
Mark Dzuban
If you wrote a " Black Mirror " episode,
what dark side of technology would you
explore and why? Network Artificial Intelligence
(AI) becoming political or using learned
intelligence against the people's best interest.
Favorite restaurant: Del Frisco's in Denver
Tech Center and Philadelphia.
Best advice your mom or dad ever gave
you? Build character and get experience in
areas in which you like to work, because you
will be doing it for the rest of your life!
Worst advice your mom or dad ever
gave you? Dating. My mother tried to be a
matchmaker after I came back from my Army
hitch in Korea. I was 20 years old, had been
in a combat zone for 16 months, had lost 60
pounds and was wired!
Your social media platform of choice?
Family dinner table with grandkids
Bitcoin - pro or con? Con. Buy precious
metals and stash them in your mattress!
What would be the name of
the reality show based on your
company? " Ordinary People Who
Do Extraordinary Things "
What's the first thing you
read in the morning? Email and
weather
Last show I binged not on my
network(s): " Blue Bloods "

June 2018
If you could have a superpower, what
would it be and why? Healing and the
longevity to apply the wisdom of all we have
learned for the betterment of society.
Vicki Lins
My worst tweetstorm only ended when...
my dog got his own " twoofer " account (@
Shadowlakedog)
Best advice Mom/Dad ever gave me:
Always treat everyone the way you would like to
be treated.
An area where media/broadband could
use improvement: Industry reputation could
use a boost. Fortunately, CTAM is leading an
effort to address it. #collectiveimpact
Social media platform of choice: Twitter.
Brevity is best. (@VickiLins)
What would be the name of the reality
show based on your company? " CTAM: TV...
everywhere "
If you could have a superpower, what would
it be and why? Eliminate conflict. Nothing beats
collaboration. Or...as my 11yo son said -staying
forever young - of course he wants to be older to
get a phone (to stream, of course)
Phil McKinney
Best advice your mom or dad ever gave
you? Whenever my brother and I were doing
yard work and we sloughed off and didn't do it
very well, my dad would say: " If a job is worth
doing, it's worth doing well. " I've actually
caught myself saying that to my kids.
Your social media platform of choice?
23snaps. I like that it's private. I'm on it all the
time because my extended family is connected
there, and my daughters can share pictures of
my grandkids without making them public. They
post at least one picture of the grandkids for
me every day.
Favorite short-form content? " Returning
the Favor " with Mike Rowe (on Facebook) is
focused on helping people. I was lucky to have
a mentor years ago who told me that you can't
pay it back, you have to pay it forward and I
try to do that for people. Mike's show does it
in spades.
What product or service could you not live
without? High-speed broadband. It allows me
to stay connected with my grandkids who live
on the East Coast.
Favorite podcast: I have two favorites- " Fortt
Knox with Jon Fortt, " and " The Way I Heard It
with Mike Rowe " ■
