The Why: This year, Lazalde-McPherson was elevated to a dual role where she ensures Showtime productions—including “Yellowjackets,” “Billions” and “The Chi”—are fiscally responsible and follow best practices, while also overseeing legal, content and creator deals with talent and partners as Showtime and Paramount+ merge. Protective of the Showtime legacy, Lazalde-McPherson seeks new content that meets its standards, including projects from A-listers like George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Mandy Patinkin.
She Says… “An inclusive workplace is one where employees feel valued, heard and have the opportunity to contribute and grow.”
