PILLARS OF SUPPORT

Leaders don’t just manage, but empower

At her first design review for home brand Magnolia, Lantin noticed something she described a rarity: The audience was overwhelmingly female. “It was really refreshing that Magnolia, with Joanna Gaines at the helm, already prioritized female leadership and vision,” she said. For Lantin, this powerful realization underscored the broader culture of support and empowerment, which she expands on by mentoring colleagues.

I make sure I’m available to all my team members and know that I can offer a specific type of help or mentorship to the women on my team by giving them all of the tools that can help them navigate their careers.

Martin Ma

Group Vice President, Engineering

PEOPLE-DRIVEN TECH

Staying focused on the human element

Steering engineering for brands such as Food Network Kitchen as well as Discovery websites, Ma helps the organization scale in a fast-moving space. But, for Ma — who embraces a “lean startup” mindset — the challenges transcend tech. “It’s all about people. We build a team of subject matter experts who know areas of a product inside-out, while everyone on the team understands the bigger picture,” he said.

Engineering problems are always people problems, and there’s nothing a great team of empowered engineers can’t solve.
