Why Her? Gillman leads Time Warner Cable’s advanced advertising strategy, which this year tested "Promotions on Demand," a VOD feature that lets viewers request additional info, coupons, etc… via remote. But Gillman’s influence goes beyond the MSO, as she played a significant role in the founding of Canoe. Gillman raised her profile even more by co-chairing CTAM Summit this year.
