Christine Bragan
VP, Corporate
Marketing &
Communications
AMC Networks
AMC Networks is
behind some of the
buzziest shows on
television, and Bragan is a key reason
messaging about AMCN's content
and the company itself resonates so
strongly among influential audiences.
As well as her role guiding marketing
and communications, Bragan champions
AMCN's support of diversity via
a variety of initiatives. Among them,
during Black History Month in February
AMC Nets ran PSA spots featuring
members of the Congressional Black
Caucus, and AMCN participated in the
Congressional Legislative Conference,
addressing civil and social justice issues.
Diversity " is not just differences
in race, gender or sexual orientation,
but is acceptance, respect and understanding
of what makes us different, "
Bragan says.
Rudy Brioché
VP, Global Public Policy
& Policy Counsel
Comcast Corporation
Brioché spends his
time at Comcast
working to develop a
better cyber security
approach for the industry as well as
a comprehensive federal privacy and
data security framework for the Internet
ecosystem. Yet Brioché still makes
time to help others. He actively supports
Roots of Development, a community
investment organization dedicated
to helping impoverished communities
gain fi nancial resources and skills,
and also mentors young professionals.
" Mentorship is key to developing and

Brioché says, noting that being
authentic, non-judgmental and keeping
the focus on the mentees are of prime
importance.
Nina Cerbo
THE INFLUENTIALS
Joseph Clark

Marketing
Fox Networks Group
A big-picture thinker,
Cerbo excels in leveraging
the diverse Fox
portfolio to negotiate
experimental marketing partnerships
with distribution partners. She's introduced
new and innovative ways to promote
the FNG brands, emphasizing the
value of digital content extensions and
multi-touchpoint, 360 campaigns. Not
one to be exclusive, Cerbo as a mentor
supports individuality-universally.
" What I emphasize with anyone that
will listen, " Cerbo says, " is the notion
of awareness. I'm not going to tell you
not to be you, but you also can't tell
anyone else not to be themselves. "

Lifestyle Channels
Scripps Networks
Interactive
Expanding the global

smartly programmed with a combination
of US and internationally commissioned
content, he continues to
elevate international distribution for
networks including the recent launch
of Food Network in Italy and in China
via digital platforms. In working with
employees across the globe, " Seeing
their creativity through the lens of their
various cultures has shown me that
diversity today is about taking different
experiences and perspectives and putting
them together to create something
wholly stronger, " Chang says.

between where they are and where
they aspire to be, I enable them to
take ownership of their priorities and
recognize their capacity to navigate
the pursuit of their goals. "
