Joan Gillman

Under Gillman’s leadership, TWC Media has launched TWCM Ads Everywhere, an ad solution that lets marketers customize and target their brand messages in live programming (from TV to tablets) across more than 50 cable nets. You will often find her leading the industry discussion on measurement and data management. She is a member of CTAM and WICT, and serves on the boards of NCC, CAB and Adlink. And her trick for maintaining personal-professional life balance: “Planning ahead and blocking the major dates for work and personal events and hiring and empowering the best talent in both places.”

How do you define a successful career?

A successful career is one in which you have (1) embraced continuous growth and learning, (2) have  maximized the potential of every day and each and every member of your team and (3) took pleasure in the process as much as the outcome.

Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance?

Planning ahead and blocking the major dates for work and personal events and hiring and empowering the best talent in both places.

When not in the office, where are we most likely to find you?

You are most likely to find me playing with or watching my son or daughter play (both) soccer or baseball (son) or ride (daughter).
