80. Tamara Franklin
SVP, Affiliate Strategy & Business Development, Scripps Networks Interactive
It’s been a whirlwind year for Franklin as she continues to focus on redefining the Scripps experience on television, personal computers and mobile devices for consumers. She oversees the development of business models and plans relating to evolving and new business opportunities, including a host of TVE deals she and her team nabbed this year with the distribution partners. Additionally, Franklin was integral in the procurement of Scripps’ first online-only subscription distribution deal, with Amazon Prime Instant Video, in early 2013. She’s most proud that a recent employee survey suggests that, despite these challenging times, a hefty workload and high expectations, “the team feels good about the environment in which they work, they understand the value of their contribution and how it impacts the greater good, and they are pleased with the leadership that I am providing.”
