By rssfeeds-admin The award recognizes Faria e Silva, Globo Brazil senior executive, broadcast standards and regulatory strategy, digital television innovation at for more than two decades of leadership in digital broadcasting, international standards development and spectrum policy. The ceremony will take place Tuesday, April 21, at 5 p.m. PT in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s West Hall Media and Entertainment Theater (booth W1467).
Standardization & Strategic Leadership
As chair of the Technical Module of the Brazilian Digital TV System Forum (SBTVD), Faria e Silva led complex, multi-stakeholder standardization work that united broadcasters, manufacturers, ministry officials and international experts. Her tenure demanded the kind of technical precision and diplomatic skill required to build consensus across competing interests.
That experience positioned her to oversee strategic development of Brazil’s next-generation broadcast technical specifications as president of the Special Committee for Digital Television at ABNT, Brazil’s national standards body. Her leadership there emphasized neutrality and consensus-building across technical working groups.
“Ana Eliza Faria e Silva and her work epitomize the values of the program’s highest honor: The Women in Technology Leadership Award,” said Kathy Haley, TVNewsCheck.co-founder and publisher. “A globally respected technical authority, she has played a pivotal role in advancing digital television in Brazil and worldwide through senior positions at Globo, SBTVD and ABNT, as well as influential contributions to ITU, CITEL and the ISDB-T International Forum.”
Executive Strategy At Globo
In her executive role at Globo, Faria e Silva has directed regulatory strategy, spectrum policy coordination and digital content delivery frameworks. Her portfolio includes advanced platform experimentation, with foundational efforts toward TV 3.0 representing a particularly forward-looking element of that work.
The combination of standards leadership and operational strategy reflects the dual expertise increasingly required as broadcasters navigate IP transition, spectrum reallocation and the integration of broadcast and broadband technologies.
