Editor’s Note: We will be featuring profiles from the 2012 CableFAX Most Powerful Women in Cable issue. Here are some words of wisdom from our #1 ranked woman. Go here to read the issue in its entirety.

Jill Campbell
EVP/COO
Cox Communications

Opportunities for young women:

 “Opportunities in our industry are plentiful. This industry continues to evolve and grow. Thirty years ago, there was just HBO and a few broadcast channels. Today our industry is diverse and full of opportunities. There are traditional cable careers, but there are also new business adventures like home security. The possibilities are exciting for anyone just coming into the job market.”
Juggling busy days: “I have a fabulous assistant. She controls my calendar and tells me where to be!”

Best advice for a mid-day energizer: “Block out a couple hours a day for think time and catch up time. Going from meeting to meeting just drains you.”
