What We Love

Prominent women abound at this media-content company, where 32% of all corporate executives are female, including Debra Lee, chairman and CEO of BET Networks, and Cyma Zarghami, the president of the Nickelodeon Network Group. As the majority of those who attend the events of the company’s affinity groups, women are clearly interested in forging work connections; this March, a new group will devote itself to finding ways to retain high-performing women, foster relationships with the external organizations that support them and launch career development initiatives for those at the manager through vice-president level.
