Carol Pandiscia

Between working at a sports network and leading technology program management, Pandiscia is used to a male-dominated environment. But it hasn’t slowed her down. At ESPN, Pandiscia heads up the project management office, business systems analysis, budget administration, operations, and technology communications. Her advice to cable rookies? “Building a career is a commitment which requires constant care and feeding,” she says. “Approach work with intent and keep building. Have the tenacity, guts and perseverance to take chances and adapt as your life changes.”
