Irene Esteves

Though she’s only been at Time Warner Cable since July 2011, Esteves helps monitor the network’s thick pocketbook. She manages investor relations, oversees finance direction and handles major mergers and acquisitions. With TWC raking in nearly $20 billion in year revenue, Esteves has her hands full. She occasionally breaks away from the madness of work by dropping in on colleagues. “I’m energized by the exchanges,” she says. “They never fail to get the energy pumping!”
