A tenacious and creative thinker, Kim negotiates with programmers and content providers throughout the entertainment industry to find innovative ways to provide consumers access to more content on a variety of platforms and devices. While she identifies success in the workplace as being part of a respectful team that provides unparalleled legal service with integrity, outside the office she considers success a state of being: “[It’s] having confidence in the sound of one’s own voice, and being true to that voice, not just in good times but also in the face of failure.”
