37. Kelly Regal
By
| November 1, 2013
EVP, Turner Broadcasting System
Regal does a little bit of everything, with her leadership portfolio including programming and sales research, public relations, corporate communications and philanthropy, human resources, media buying and market strategy functions. A new boss will be in her future, with Turner CEO Phil Kent stepping down at year-end and Time Warner CFO/CAO John Martin taking over the top job. Often described as “whip-smart,” Regal should be more than able to adapt, as she’s known for quickly understanding, analyzing and prioritizing info coming at her.
