Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Media for 2025
NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Media for 2025. These women are guiding the media industry through ongoing shifts in how content is created, delivered, and consumed. These leaders are designing the strategies that shape how media companies build cross-platform brands, develop new revenue streams, and adapt to shifting audience behaviors. Their work spans creative development, marketing, operations, and audience growth. What sets them apart is their ability to navigate complexity while keeping the focus on connection—between brands and consumers, between platforms and people, and across the industry itself.
Throughout the media industry, women hold many high-ranking positions, including Candice Cook, Chief Strategy Officer for Candarah Media, a multimedia global content venture. Cook is a C-suite executive, business strategist, and attorney. She is responsible for the trademark and scaling of the Cronut pastry for Dominique Ansel, which changed the way the legal and business community viewed the power of small businesses and intellectual property. She has led the bakery's legal, business, communications, marketing, and strategy functions since the company's inception.
We also congratulate honoree Samantha Skey, the Chief Executive Officer of SHE Media. In addition to the company's owned and operated brands, the SHE Media Collective represents the largest network of independent publishers and creators in the U.S. Throughout her career, Skey has exhibited a long-standing commitment to the advancement of equity and inclusion through media. She launched the SHE Media Collective in 2016 with a focus on supporting underrepresented publishers and creators.
Lastly, we extend our honors to Susan Gerardo Dunn, the Founder and CEO of Baltimore Fishbowl, a leading digital news platform dedicated to covering Baltimore's unique community, which she launched in 2011. Under Dunn's leadership, the publication has earned a reputation for thoughtful reporting and community engagement, amplifying the voices of diverse Baltimoreans, and has won numerous awards, including Website of General Excellence from the Maryland, Delaware, and D.C. Press Association.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Media for 2025.
