More of the Most Powerful Women in Cable 2016
Molly Solomon
" I would tell her to trust her instincts, even if she can't
explain why in the moment of decision. Her inner
voice and gut instinct will be among her best assets, "
Schwartz says.
Dalila Wilson Scott
President, Comcast
Foundation &
SVP, Community
Investment
Comcast Corp.
Scott, who joined Comcast
this April, is highly
respected within the philanthropic community and
has extensive experience in overseeing charitable
initiatives at a worldwide level. She oversees efforts
to leverage various assets, resources and platforms
throughout Comcast to extend the reach and impact
of the company's philanthropic partnerships. Scott
says she'd advise her teen self to " know that you
are your biggest critic-don't let self-doubt hold you
back from taking risks, trying something new and
raising your hand. "
Alexandra Shapiro
EVP, Marketing &
Digital
USA Network
Shapiro has overseen
the new brand
positioning and tagline
" We The Bold, " which
aims to portray a new, distinct point of view for the
USA brand and overall programming strategy. The
brand positioning refl ects the values and interests
of today's modern audiences by evoking courage,
resiliency, risk-taking and authenticity. Can you
say " Mr. Robot " ? It was a completely new show
for the network and required a comprehensive and
exceptional marketing vision. Look no further than
the " f-society " campaign that both led the show's
key art and even managed to hack into a Cablefax
Programming Awards event. The buzz was frenzied
and constant, thanks to Shapiro's tireless efforts.
Savalle Sims
EVP, Deputy General
Counsel
Discovery
Communications
Sims manages all
litigation and intellectual
property matters for Discovery
Communications - which is no small feat
considering the company's continual investment in

from overseeing risk management to working
closely with business affairs, talent management
and production. Known as a strategic, top-notch
litigator with an expertise in both domestic and
international law, Sims will continue to lead all
legal efforts relating to the company's intellectual
property, including trademark, patent and copyright
portfolios. Sims tells us cable has made great
strides in being more inclusive from a gender
perspective, but there's room for improvement. " For
the cable industry, that means placing a continued
and equal focus on all aspects of the business, both
on-screen and off. "
Martha Soehren
Chief Talent
Development Officer,
Comcast University
SVP, Comcast Cable
Soehren leads one of the
nation's largest corporate
universities and training
platforms for Comcast's 153,000 employees. Under
her leadership, learning and development at Comcast
is delivered using innovative solutions with a focus
on effi ciencies and effectiveness and tells the ROI
stories with learning and business data. If she could
turn back time, Soehren would say to her teen self:
" Education is important to defi ning and growing your
career-take it seriously and sooner. Identify and use
the resources around you-ask great questions and
fi nd mentors and role models-starting now.
Marinella Soldi
President & Managing
Director, Discovery
Networks Southern
Europe
Discovery
Communications
Soldi's numerous accomplishments
include the launch of general entertainment
channel Nove and the OTT service Dplay in Italy. Thanks

million unique users from its June 2015 launch. Over in
Spain, Discovery became the main content provider of
the channel DKiss, following the success of Discovery
Max. Soldi is known for her contribution and commitment

in management, economy, science or social activities at
a national and international level.
November 2016
Executive Producer &
SVP, Production and
Operations

for Solomon. She led Golf
Channel to its highest-rated
year ever in 2015, with 2016 on pace to be highestrated
and most-watched year in the company's 21-year
history. That's in part due to an unprecedented stretch
of events in 2016, including, The Open (Golf Channel's
fi rst coverage of a men's major championship), golf's
return to the Olympics, the FedExCup Playoffs and a
U.S. hosted Ryder Cup. Solomon led all the productions
during this 12-week stretch. She's also been a driving
force behind the KPMG Women's Leadership Summit as
a board member the past two years. On gender equality
in cable, she says, " I fi nd that women are applying for
entry-level television jobs in incredibly high numbers.
I fi nd myself asking if we've hired an entry-level male
candidate in a while. How amazing is that? "
Myrna Soto
SVP, Global Chief
Information Security
Officer
Comcast Corp.
Security integration,
expansion of enterprise
security risk management
and the provision of value-added security services to
Comcast Business customers are all points of focus
for Soto. The cybersecurity expert is one of the most
senior women at Comcast Corp., continuing to lead the
alignment and development of cyber and data security
strategies and policies across the entire company,
including Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Comcast
Spectacor. Additionally, she serves as a mentor to many,
