A poised and graceful Kay Koplovitz took the stage at NASA earlier this month at an event with Singularity University and Women@TheFrontier. She had an incredible amount of poise and confidence, something certainly not new to her as the first woman to head a television network.
Kay founded USANetworks under the banner of Madison Square Garden Sports in the seventies.
She is also known for founding the Sci-Fi Channel which has become a top ten rated cable network and USANetworks, which runs in 60 countries worldwide.
President Clinton also appointed Kay to chair the bipartisan National Women’s Business Council. With a success record that keeps going, she is a great reminder that persistence and tenacity pays off.
She reminded the audience that 57% of women have masters degrees and 52% of women have doctorate degrees as she threw a quote from Coca Cola CEO onto the screen who said in 2010: “The drivers of the post American world won’t be led by China but led by women.”
She added a quote from Hilary Clinton who had encouraged companies and individuals to “unlock potential of women by investing in girls and women” at the Global Impact Economy Forum this year.
