Two division heads with one important thing in common: their departments are growing, and growing fast. Now these two catalysts for success must ride the wave and fuel its intensity. Gillman’s triumphs are a result of her foresight, getting into digital advertising early on and rolling out digital video ad solutions for the TWC TV app. Meeks too finds himself in familiar territory, having previously propelled Cox Business into the company’s fastest growing business unit. With TWC Business Services, he’s got his sites on bigger TWC markets like New York City and L.A. where the greatest spoils lie.
