Marie Censoplano

Censoplano oversees regulatory, programming negotiations, contract negotiations and M&A, and the Vyve team also counts on her to go beyond legal advice to deliver day-to-day business acumen. Her involvement with the NCTA and ACAC gives the company a seat at the larger industry table, where she helps guide the discussion surrounding rural and issues unique to smaller cable operators.

“The adaptability of our industry appeals to me as it allows us to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. We make people happy by offering them access to opportunities, community engagement and entertainment. For me, there is nothing more satisfying than being part of an industry that improves people’s lives.”

How has your definition of success changed over the course of your career? At the beginning of my career, I was very focused on the next achievement and moving up in an organization without considering whether my work was positively impacting the world at large. As my career progressed, my definition of success changed as I started to pay more attention to what my skills were being used to achieve. I find that our industry allows me to use my talents to help bring more opportunities to people across the country, and that positive impact makes me feel like a successful person.
