Mary Meduski

A cable veteran, Meduski continues to raise the bar each year. She leads by example in helping to determine Suddenlink’s strategic vision and oversees many facets of business: content and programming, finances, risk management, even IT. Perhaps one of the most approachable senior executives in cable, Meduski seeks to learn from others. “I am inspired when my colleagues challenge the status quo and solve a problem in a creative, new way,” she says. Likewise, she adds, “I am inspired when my children challenge the status quo and solve a problem in a creative, new way.”

What’s the most important aspect of mentoring?

When these relationships are treated more like sponsorships, whereby the mentor is personally invested and committed, both the mentor and mentee will get much more out of it

What/who inspires you at work?  What/who inspires you outside the office?

I am inspired when my colleagues challenge the status quo and solve a problem in a creative, new way.  I am inspired when my children challenge the status quo and solve a problem in a creative, new way.

Your favorite trick for unwinding?

I try to engage in activities that require me to be focused and fully present:  a good book, movie, conversation, or new travel destination.
