Terry Volkwyn – Former-CEO of Primedia, founder of Lead SA: Considered as one of the most powerful and influential women in media but Terry Volkwyn never dreamed of a career in radio. She wanted to be a lawyer but didn\’t have the right matric subjects, so she went into dress-designing. After another career change, Volkwyn sold advertising space for the Rand Daily Mail when Radio 702 was launched. She instantly loved the rebelliousness of it and started running its sales team and selling up a storm. Eventually she would move from sales to programme manager and up the ladder until she reached the very top. In 2006, she was named Boss of the Year. In 2012, she won Company Women of the Decade in Media. In 2013, she was inducted into the MTN Radio Awards Hall of Fame.
