In her executive post at Sony Pictures Television, Belker is charged with oversight of licensing and marketing for the company’s transactional businesses. That includes linear deals for film and SVOD, which have kept her busy these days. She also manages MVPDs for VOD, pay-per-view and EST for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and has launched new models and windows for multi-platform and TV Everywhere products. “A successful career is one that engages you and allows you to play to your strengths,” she says.

How do you define a successful career?

A successful career is one that engages you and allows you to play to your strengths. If you’re engaged and interested in the work you’re doing, challenges seem exciting and not tedious.

Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance?

Best trick I’ve found to maintain a personal-professional life balance is to take three-day weekends.  The weeks slip away quickly but I sprinkle long weekend family trips throughout the year so I’ve got something to plan ahead and schedule around. I get to enjoy my husband and daughter while doing outdoor activities we all enjoy like snowboarding and surfing. Outdoor adventures have the added bonus of limited cell service, giving me an opportunity to truly unplug and spend quality time with the family. Being away from the office for short bursts is also easier to manage.

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

SoCal is the luckiest place to live; the beach is my favorite.
