TIME WARNER CABLE BUSINESS CLASS'S JEANIE WARFIELD FIRST RECIPIENT OF CATHERINE OAKES MEMORIAL LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP FOR WOMEN

MAY 22, 2014 (Exton, PA) Jeanie Warfield, product manager, video solutions for Time Warner Cable Business Class, has been named the first recipient of the Catherine Oakes Memorial Leadership Scholarship for Women, the SCTE Foundation announced today.

Warfield, who is based in Time Warner Cable's Akron, Ohio, location, has been awarded a grant of $3,700 to attend the WICT Leadership Conference that will be held Sept. 15-16 in New York City by Women in Cable Telecommunications. Her grant application was among numerous submissions that were reviewed by past recipients of the Women in Technology Award that is presented annually by SCTE, Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) and CableFAX.

A 15-year veteran of the cable telecommunications industry, Warfield has been credited with incubating a successful Internet residential product, integrating it into the larger marketing product set and executing such innovative programs as speed test trials, modem recovery, HSD single-play campaigns and the launch of Turbo Internet speeds. In addition, Warfield led local project management leadership for the channel line-up integration and redesign following Time Warner Cable's acquisition of Adelphia systems. Her contributions included: simplification of the product offering into mini-tiers; standardization of naming and categorization of channels into genres; and internal and external communication of the changes.

"Jeanie enjoys sharing her wealth of knowledge and is a true product champion," wrote James T.C. Moore, director, video product management for Time Warner Cable Business Class, in a recommendation letter. "She is always cheerful and well organized and brings an enthusiasm and purpose to every meeting. She has been able to assist in not only product management but also in product integration across a variety of products. Part of her success is her ability to train sales and care team members on complex products but in a simplified manner."

Created to honor the memory of the senior vice president, operations for SCTE who passed away suddenly last November, the Catherine Oakes scholarship is funded entirely by donations earmarked specifically in her name. To date, cable system operators, vendors and individuals have donated more than $35,000 in recognition of Oakes's contributions to the industry. Donations to this fund can be made at http://foundation.scte.org/give.

Established in 2005, the SCTE Foundation is intended to increase the technical, business and leadership skills of the telecommunications engineering workforce, attract and recruit women and minorities into engineering careers, and position the telecommunications industry as a desirable career opportunity for aspiring young people in the early stages of their careers.
