Tasked with overseeing all financial matters and strategies for Showtime Networks and being a liaison between Showtime and CBS, Spade’s main focus lately has been on in- creasing revenue opportunities by expanding Showtime’s streaming services and growing the brand internationally. Spade doesn’t have to look far for compelling role models. “Perhaps I am a little biased but Showtime’s programming has strong female roles to which I strongly relate and enjoy watching— Carrie in ‘Homeland,’ Fiona in ‘Shameless,’ Vanessa in ‘Penny Dreadful.’ My all-time favorite female role portrayals are in CBS’ ‘The Good Wife’ —such poignant and thoughtful writing, amazing!”
