SVP, Audience Multiplatform Technologies
Turner’s Technology, Strategy & Operations Group
 
Turner has a sizable stable of Web-based properties—from CartoonNetworkonline.com to SI.com to CNN.com, which averaged 73 million unique monthly visitors last year—and Holt oversees them all. Partner sites including NBA.com, NCAA.com NASCAR.com and PGATour.com also fall under her purview, as does development of Turner’s broadband strategy, streaming content and VOD platforms. As well as her seemingly unending tech prowess, Holt is known among co-workers for her infectious positivity and support. It’s a winning combination, indeed.
