69. Time Warner ShuffleLynne Costantini Title: SVP/Chief Business Affairs Officer, Time Warner Cable Melinda Witmer Title: SVP/Chief Programming Officer, Time Warner Cable Age: 45 Years in Industry: 12 Why Them? Oh, what a year these 2 upwardly mobile Time Warner Cable execs are having. When Fred Dressler decided to retire, the MSO's top programming job went into play. But in a strange twist, Melinda Witmer ended up taking the reigns despite Lynne Costantini’s stronger programming background (Witmer left Time Warner's legal dept only last summer to become svp, programming). But no worries for Costantini: She snagged the newly created position of chief business affairs officer and stands to wield considerable power in her own right. The bottom line is that Dressler’s exit has catapulted Costantini and Witmer to new levels of influence. - MG Melinda Witmer Defining career moment: “Decision to join HBO in 1994, followed by decision to leave the law department and work for Fred Dressler in programming.” Top personal achievement in 2006: “Being named Chief Programming Officer for Time Warner Cable.” In my free time, I like to: “Restore old houses; Hang with my husband and kids” Favorite restaurant: “In deference to my husband, The Sizzler” Favorite movie: “Toss up between 'Heaven Can Wait' and 'Ghostbusters'.” Favorite sports team: Scarsdale Raiders Click here to return to the 2006 CFAX 100 List. |
