Kay Koplovitz Biography

Kay Koplovitz is the founder of USA Network and the first woman network president in television history. A pioneer in cable television networks and new media ventures, she is a visionary who led the cable television industry in challenging the mighty broadcast networks for coveted audiences.

Koplovitz was the first to negotiate cable rights to major league sports and later developed the station into a leading provider of original programming. Under her leadership, USA Network achieved first place in cable prime time ratings for 14 years, and she introduced innovative business models such as the dual revenue streams of licensing and advertising. She also launched the SyFy Channel (formally Sci-Fi Channel), now one of the top-ranked networks in viewership, and initiated USA Networks International in 1994.

In addition to her achievements in media, Koplovitz founded Springboard Enterprises in 2000, a national organization that has fostered the investment of over $4 billion in women-led firms. She also co-founded Boldcap Ventures in 2001, a venture capital fund exclusively backed by high net worth women. Currently, Koplovitz serves as Chairman and CEO of Koplovitz & Company, specializing in media investments, and is Chairman of the Board at Fifth and Pacific. She has authored "Bold Women, Big Ideas" and edited "Been There, Run That," publications designed to inspire and guide women entrepreneurs. Her speaking topics include women's leadership, corporate board governance, the changing media landscape, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
