Recognizing women within the tech, cable and media industry that have proven success, alongside a strong commitment to ensuring other executives receive opportunities to grow and flourish. These women have influence and power within the industry, across all departments.

Cablefax is looking for the next generation of leaders – The Rising Tide

These are the women whose hard work already makes it clear that they are on the path to making big waves in the future as they seek out mentors, push forward new business strategies and demonstrate boldness and creativity in their professional endeavors. To promote the surfacing of this emerging level of luminaries, we are looking to you - those already in senior positions - to put forth the names of the people they believe will populate the next class of Most Powerful Women.

The Rising Tide not only features rising executives, but the industry champions behind them. Each Rising Tide nominee should be nominated by a peer—a colleague, mentor or manager—who is promoting the nominee within the industry. Both the nominee and peer will be highlighted together during the awards program and in the Most Powerful Women magazine. Nominating peers may be any gender.
