Executive Round Up: What are the High Priorities for Most Powerful Women Honorees?

Becky Jones
Chief Marketing & People Officer
Viamedia

“Truly navigating where everything is going. I haven’t been bored in 23 years, which is the most exciting part about my job. Just as we went through the transition of broadcast to cable, and cable to streaming, and now it’s just video everywhere. It’s how everyone’s going to navigate it. Where do the puzzle pieces fall? That’s what I think we’re all trying to figure out. But it’s so exciting right now. I haven’t been more excited about this industry in a long time, so I’m awake thinking about the ways that Viamedia specifically can participate.”

“I really think it’s trying to navigate all of the changes in what’s happening and really trying to think ahead. I wish I had a crystal ball. We don’t know where things are going to go or end up, but it’s really trying to anticipate kind of what is going to help our members the most. We’re just trying to at least listen to what they need, trying to help them to really reach their consumers, and just trying to anticipate what we can do better for them in the world of video amongst all of these incredible number of changes that keep happening at such a rapid pace all the time. It’s just hoping that we can be smart enough to figure out some answers that actually really help them.”

“The industry is in constant change, but it just feels more turbulent right now. And just the unknowns of: are we really bifurcating? Is content going one direction, service providers going another? What does that mean? What does that mean for us? We do a pretty good job of staying on top of the technological changes, but with the consolidation and the number of cus- tomers combining, I think just the turbulence of the true changes going on in the industry keeps me up.”
