She also led the company through the COVID-19 pandemic, partnering with various bodies to educate millions of Americans through a massive PSA campaign.

She was honored with the prestigious Matrix Award by New York Women in Communications in 2020.

She also united the advanced video advertising capabilities of both NBCUniversal and Sky, creating a groundbreaking global offering for marketers.

She was recognized as Business Insider’s “Top 10 People Transforming Advertising”; Adweek’s “Ten Most Powerful Women in TV”; Hollywood Reporter’s “Women in Entertainment: Power 100”; and Variety’s “Power Women of New York.”
