ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 5, 2025 — WOW! Internet, TV & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services provider, announced that Chief Executive Officer Teresa Elder, Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer Leslie Peabody, and Vice President of Sales and Advertising Misty Jensen have been named to the 2025 Cablefax "Most Powerful Women" list of influential industry leaders. The recognition celebrates their leadership, dedication to advancing women in telecommunications, and lasting contributions to the broadband industry.
The annual award honors women who drive business success, inspire innovation, and foster the growth of other executives, helping to create a more dynamic and inclusive industry. This year marks Elder’s seventh time on the list, Peabody’s third, and Jensen’s second.
Elder guided WOW! through a transformative year that included the announcement of the company’s proposed acquisition by DigitalBridge and Crestview and the expansion of its all-fiber footprint, reaching a milestone of 100,000 homes passed in Greenfield markets earlier this year. Under her leadership, WOW! strengthened strategic growth, expanded services, and maintained a people-first culture to position the company for continued success in new and existing markets.
Peabody earned recognition for advancing WOW!’s employee experience, driving record engagement scores and expanding the Belonging & Inclusion program across five Employee Resource Groups. She enhanced the company’s Total Rewards process, wellness culture, and career development programs, contributing to a more engaging and effective workplace.
Jensen has expanded her role overseeing WOW!’s entire sales organization, now including residential field sales, MDU sales, and the residential call center. She has led strategic campaigns and launched sales for WOW! Business Fiber in new markets. Her initiatives, such as the Local Advantage program, deliver measurable results in customer acquisition, retention, and market presence.
"Receiving this recognition alongside Leslie and Misty is a true honor," said Teresa Elder. "Over the past year, our team has navigated immense growth and change. Their leadership and dedication are what make WOW! a company that consistently delivers for our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.
