Dillman and her team, meanwhile,
have provided tremendous support
for the expansion of the QVC experience
into new platforms, such as
Apple TV and Apple Watch, helping
to align QVC with the future of
retail and entertainment industries.
Execs make time for charitable
endeavors, as well. Campbell is

that supports the Breast Cancer
Research Fund. She also supports
one of QVC's featured charities:
Dress For Success.
