The Leaders
49. Debbie DeMontreux
SVP, Original Programming, IFC
AMC Networks
Acting on advice from her dad,
DeMontreux took a summer job at
Cablevision after graduating from
high school 24 years ago. Today, she
resides at AMC Networks (formerly
Cablevision's Rainbow Media) where she oversees original
comedy hatchlings including " Portlandia. " Under her
guidance, this offbeat Oregonian series amassed 13.5
million viewers for its second season and earned a Peabody
Award for television excellence. For job seekers, she
stresses the power of networking. " People you've made
strong impressions with will remember you when opportunities
arise, " she says.
50. Rocky Boler
SVP, Customer Service
Cablevision
Boler pilots customer service for Cablevision,
with particular focus on the
ever-important call centers. Although
he manages a lot of moving parts
nowadays, he recounts how a failed
attempt at rebuilding a car engine changed his life. When
his reassembled motor refused to start, his dad asked if he
had paid attention during disassembly to how the parts had
been connected. It's a lesson he still applies today. " Paying
attention to the details and closely inspecting how things
are related can make all the difference between success and
failure, " he says.
51. Carolina Lightcap
Head of Content for DLA/USH and
GM, Southern Cone
Discovery Communications
Discovery is moving full-speed
ahead in its bid to conquer Latin
America. Former Disney exec
Lightcap was just starting her gig at
Discovery as our Diversity issue was going to press. Now
based in Buenos Aires, she will head all content-related
areas including programming, marketing, program publicity
and promotions in the area. She'll also be responsible
for overseeing Discovery's business in Argentina, Chile,
Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. Aside from settling into her
new digs and role, Lightcap tells us she'd like to master
another skill: Work-life balance. " As a working mother, it's
never an easy task, " she says.
52. Janet Han Vissering
SVP, Strategic Development and
Co-Finance, NGCI
National Geographic Channels
An integral member of the Nat Geo
programming team, Han Vissering
manages co-inance and strategic
alliances with both domestic and
international broadcast and production partners. She also
manages the network's global programming budget through
co-inance agreements, and sources and develops global
programming, including negotiation of output deals as well
as developing alternative funding sources through non-profits,
private organizations and state-funded associations. At
heart, she's a steadfast entrepreneur. " Being entrepreneurial
in all my endeavors has always paid dividends, " she says.
" I'm always trying to master how to maximize my time in
juggling both my professional and personal life. "
53. Michael Smith
GM, Cooking Channel
Scripps Networks Interactive
As GM of the Cooking Channel,
Smith dishes up a company growth
strategy that guides programming
and marketing. He played an integral
part in making the network's launch
one of the largest in cable history, serving content to 58 million
homes. Smith irst developed an interest in cable during
college thanks to an industry outreach program. In order to
attract a fresh batch of diverse talent, he strongly recommends
cable do a better job getting students excited about
the industry. " We're not going to see signiicant diversity
gains in the boardroom until we get more students of color
excited about our industry in the classroom, " he says.
54. Loretha Jones

BET Networks
Jones drives some of the network's
highest-rated programming, including
" The Game " and " Reed Between
