Kovacs’ strategy is to find business solutions that empower marketers to share their messages in meaningful ways by leveraging IP, content and talent across the NBCU portfolio. She shines, bringing partners into tent-pole events, like the Paris Olympics and Big Ten women’s basketball, and in the workplace, where she recognizes those who have helped bring her success and returns the favor.

“I’m finding more conversations and community, emerging both organically and formally, supporting women’s role in the workplace. It’s critical we build and support this layer of awareness to continue fostering a culture that empowers women.”

Who is a female athlete you admire and why? None other than THE Simone Biles. Watching her train and compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics this past summer was a sports moment I will never forget. In addition to changing and truly redefining the sport of gymnastics, I deeply admire her dedication, confidence, and very human approach to her craft.
