The Leaders
7. albert Cheng
eVP, digital, disney-aBC Television Group
Cheng always clocks in near the top of our list, and here's why: He's a lofty visionary
who also has the business acumen to get products and services launched
on the ground. No small task when your launch pad is the massive ABC-Disney
group. After soaring success with the Watch Disney TVE products in 2012, Cheng
took a crack at Watch ABC this year-even sooner than his team had planned
to. And now device-based access to ABC's 24-hour feed is already available in
all eight ABC-owned local station markets. Cheng also has his hands all over the
company's social media strategy and other multiplatform distribution models.
Known as a strong team player, Cheng says: " An incredible mentorship experience
happens when there is a two-way exchange and learning on both sides. "
8. Michael Powell
President, NCTa
The former FCC chairman took the helm at NCTA in 2011 and has since focused
largely on the availability and reliability of broadband, a message he touted at
this year's Cable Show and which he recently defended in a letter to the editor of
the LA Times. An always-eloquent speaker, Powell has pointed to the staggering
$200 billion spent building out the cable industry over the past decade, which
resulted in a speed increase of 1,500%, broadband rollout to 93% of the country
and continued innovation. " We should work harder than ever to ensure that
all Americans-regardless of ethnicity, background, or gender-can enjoy the
benefits of broadband, " he says. Onward!
9. david rone
President, sports, News and Local Programming, Time Warner Cable
Not only is Rone a good sport, he's also a newsman now. Last year he assembled a
team of 300 employees and successfully launched regional sports nets for the L.A.
Lakers and Galaxy. This year his role expanded from overseeing TWC's sports programming
business to include oversight of TWC's 52 local news channels across the
country, which he's working to rebrand under " Time Warner Cable News " outlets. He's
also busy launching, distributing and selling ads for SportsNet LA, new the regional
net home for the L.A. Dodgers beginning with the 2014 MLB season. " In any scenario,
reject the crutch of homogeneity and in turn, embrace a process that encompasses a
variety of voices, experiences, perspective and capabilities, " he says, " therefore, making
it inclusive enough to get you to the best and right place in the end. " Wise words.
10. steve White
West division President, Comcast Cable
The West belongs to White, and if he has his way, he'll make it the best division
in the country. For an unbroken 20 months, the West Division has finished
No. 1 in Comcast's power rankings-a measure of multi-department business
metrics-and has charted three years of employee-evaluated improvement.
One of his greatest pieces of advice comes from a time he ignored his mentor's
guidance on an important issue. " I didn't listen, and he was right, " says White.
Moral of the story: " Seek great mentors and listen to them. "
