Center for Sales Strategy Recognizes Talent Superheros


The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS) announces the recognition of the 2022 Talent Superhero winners -- managers who are recognized for recruiting, selecting, developing, and engaging top performers on their teams and in their markets every day. This annual award acknowledges leaders in sales management roles (or similar - GSM, DOS, VP, Station Director, etc.) who oversee all things talent-related on their teams and in their territories - and were likely nominated by someone on their team.

Winners are selected by a committee that reviews skills and success of each nominee based on building and maintaining a strong talent bank, recruiting top talent to the organization, coaching people to maximize their strengths, engaging their team, and retaining top performers over time.

"These awards are a true testament to the leadership, work ethic, and skill of these leaders and the cultures they create for their teams," said The Center for Sales Strategy Senior VP of Talent Services Beth Sunshine. "It's an honor to recognize these leaders for the amazing work they do for their teams and organizations."

The 2022 Talent Superheroes are:

  • Alex Zagryn -- VP of Sales, iHeartMedia, New York
  • Allison Delagrange -- General Sales Manager, Federated Media, Fort Wayne
  • Amy Bloxom -- Regional Vice President, Townsquare Media, Shreveport
  • Carrie Berkbuegler -- Director of Sales, Zimmer Communications, Columbia, MO
  • Cindi Reed -- Director of Sales, Apartmentdata.com
  • JC Campese -- Vice President/Market Manager, Cox Media Group, Orlando
  • Jesse Wilson -- Local Sales Manager, TEGNA, Seattle
  • Laura Coristine -- General Sales Manager, Cox Media, New England
  • Michelle Long -- Vice President of Sales, McClatchy, Columbia, SC
  • Ryan Subica -- Operations and Activation Manager, TEGNA, Seattle
  • Stephanie Callihan -- Vice President/Market Manager, Cox Media Group, Houston
  • Steven Biebel -- Local Sales Manager, TEGNA, San Diego
  • Val Maki -- Senior Vice President/Market Manager, Bonneville International, San Francisco

In addition to this honor, Allison Delagrange joins the Talent Superhero 'League of Legends' -- as she is the second Talent Superhero recipient to receive this prestigious award two times (2017 and 2022).
