Lightcap oversaw a third consecutive year of record ratings in 2015, with the first half of 2016 building momentum with the Q2 delivering a 4 percent gain over the first quarter. Discovery Channel, Discovery Kids, and Discovery Home & Health all ranked among the top 10 pay TV channels in the primetime pan-regional level, for A25-54. Lightcap also helped form a partnership between Discovery Kids and Cris Morena Group and MundoLoco CGI to co-develop a trio of animated series for kids to air on Discovery Kids across Latin America. “I’m always reminding myself to focus on ‘first things first,’ meaning to zero in on the important, long-term goals, rather than only the urgent, at-hand tasks,” she says.

What grade do you give the cable industry on diversity and why?
Progress is indeed being made by the industry, with room to continue improving.

My personal election campaign slogan would be…
I’m always reminding myself of focusing on “first things first,” meaning to zero in on the important, long-term goals, rather than only the urgent, at-hand tasks. This piece of advice, from Stephen Covey’s book, which I read early on in my career, has stuck with me throughout the years, both professionally and personally.
