Along the way she’s represented artists, athletes, and personalities like Ludacris, Martina Navratilova, and Ashley Graham, as well as independent and major entertainment companies like Jive Records, Sony Music, QVC, and the Sixers. Landew joined us in 2019 as Vice President of Legal for our content teams and moved into her current role as General Counsel in 2021. She lives with her family in Pennsylvania, where she would host, apparently, one of the most fascinating dinner parties of all time.</p><h6>What advice would you give to someone starting out in their career now, given the current trends?</h6><p>I have two pieces of advice that I stand by: The first is that you should always try to anticipate what work needs to be done and do it rather than waiting for work to be assigned to you. I had a manager early in my career who impressed upon me that the difference between doing good work and doing great work comes down to thinking about and delivering what others need before they even realize they need it.</p><p>Second is that you should never let other people define your success. A career will be filled with decisions made for personal and professional reasons, and those reasons may not make sense to anyone but you. If you get caught up with what others say makes for a successful career, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. Instead, set your own priorities and consider yourself a success if you achieve them.</p><h6>What are some “left turns” you took on your career journey?</h6><p>I’ve pivoted many times over three decades. The first significant pivot was leaving my career as a litigator in a large law firm to work for a small rap/hip-hop label clearing samples so that I could get into the music business. My next big swing was when I left the record label job after almost 10 years (as a senior business and legal executive) to relocate my family from New York to Philadelphia to work at a smaller music company so that I could spend more time with my family. </p><p>Five years later, when my company was acquired, I pivoted again to return to law-firm life and I started building a successful entertainment law practice from scratch. And lastly, 12 years later, I walked away from a successful practice to return to my in-house roots to join Audible because I wanted to experience being part of a team again.</p><h6>Looking back, what would you say has been the overarching thread in your career journey?</h6><p>For me, I’ve had three driving forces in my career: One, I will strive to do what’s best for my family first and foremost; two, I always want to feel challenged and that I’m learning and growing; and three, I will never let anyone else define my success. </p><h6>Who is your biggest inspiration, career-wise?</h6><p>My mother—she was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known, but she never had the chance to reach her full potential because she lacked the support of her family who clung to an old-fashioned belief that it was more important for women to marry than to pursue their own aspirations. My achievements are due, in large part, to my mother’s support and encouragement and her strongly held belief that every person should be able to stand on their own and be given the tools to make that happen. </p><h6>If you could have any super power what would it be?</h6><p>I would want to be able to communicate with all living/thinking creatures, human and animal.</p><h6>Who would you invite to the dinner party of your dreams? Invitations are open to anyone living or dead, real or fictional.</h6><p>Michelle Obama, Lucille Ball, Lady Gaga, Barbara Streisand, Anita Hill, and Harvey Fierstein. </p></div><div class="SingleCopy_SingleCopy__8_zA0"><h5>Lightning Round:</h5><ul><li><strong>Coffee or tea?</strong> Coffee.</li><li><strong>Morning person or night owl?</strong> Both.

Along the way she’s represented artists, athletes, and personalities like Ludacris, Martina Navratilova, and Ashley Graham, as well as independent and major entertainment companies like Jive Records, Sony Music, QVC, and the Sixers. Landew joined us in 2019 as Vice President of Legal for our content teams and moved into her current role as General Counsel in 2021. She lives with her family in Pennsylvania, where she would host, apparently, one of the most fascinating dinner parties of all time.\n\n###### What advice would you give to someone starting out in their career now, given the current trends? \nI have two pieces of advice that I stand by: The first is that you should always try to anticipate what work needs to be done and do it rather than waiting for work to be assigned to you. I had a manager early in my career who impressed upon me that the difference between doing good work and doing great work comes down to thinking about and delivering what others need before they even realize they need it.\n\nSecond is that you should never let other people define your success. A career will be filled with decisions made for personal and professional reasons, and those reasons may not make sense to anyone but you. If you get caught up with what others say makes for a successful career, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. Instead, set your own priorities and consider yourself a success if you achieve them.\n\n###### What are some “left turns” you took on your career journey? \nI’ve pivoted many times over three decades. The first significant pivot was leaving my career as a litigator in a large law firm to work for a small rap/hip-hop label clearing samples so that I could get into the music business. My next big swing was when I left the record label job after almost 10 years (as a senior business and legal executive) to relocate my family from New York to Philadelphia to work at a smaller music company so that I could spend more time with my family. \n\nFive years later, when my company was acquired, I pivoted again to return to law-firm life and I started building a successful entertainment law practice from scratch. And lastly, 12 years later, I walked away from a successful practice to return to my in-house roots to join Audible because I wanted to experience being part of a team again.\n\n###### Looking back, what would you say has been the overarching thread in your career journey? \nFor me, I’ve had three driving forces in my career: One, I will strive to do what’s best for my family first and foremost; two, I always want to feel challenged and that I’m learning and growing; and three, I will never let anyone else define my success. \n\n###### Who is your biggest inspiration, career-wise?\nMy mother—she was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known, but she never had the chance to reach her full potential because she lacked the support of her family who clung to an old-fashioned belief that it was more important for women to marry than to pursue their own aspirations. My achievements are due, in large part, to my mother’s support and encouragement and her strongly held belief that every person should be able to stand on their own and be given the tools to make that happen. \n\n###### If you could have any super power what would it be? \nI would want to be able to communicate with all living/thinking creatures, human and animal.\n\n###### Who would you invite to the dinner party of your dreams? Invitations are open to anyone living or dead, real or fictional. \nMichelle Obama, Lucille Ball, Lady Gaga, Barbara Streisand, Anita Hill, and Harvey Fierstein. \n"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"6GWCfOs0GRuA9KyWwwjpI6","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2023-01-04T14:31:18.913Z","updatedAt":"2023-01-04T14:34:40.617Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":19,"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"newsCopyBlock"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"copy":"##### Lightning Round:\n\n- __Coffee or tea?__ Coffee.\n- __Morning person or night owl?__ Both.

When he started with the company in 2009, it had no communications team, but Thornton’s organization has since grown to one that stretches around the world, synchronizing our brand story across multiple countries and languages, all while Audible continues to redefine audio entertainment and expand its [impact work](https://www.audible.com/about/impact). \n\nThornton, who first worked as an editor for Random House and Scribner, then covered that industry for publications like *Publisher’s Weekly*, says that for him, joining Audible was a way to stay true to the roots of his career while being a part of something entirely new. He lives in New Jersey with his family, splitting his time between working from home and in our Newark headquarters.\n\n###### How would you describe your approach to communications? \nWe are all, to some degree, storytellers, and I think people at Audible are particularly conscious of that. We’re a company built on words. The work that the communications team does is constantly shaping the story of Audible — who we are as a brand, what we represent to our employees and prospective employees, to our stakeholders in Newark and in our other hub locations, to reporters who write about us, and to talent that works with us. The stories we tell should inform all of these audiences but also engage and inspire them to join in our mission of spreading the joy of listening.\n\n###### What drew you to Audible?\nI started my career on the editorial side of print book publishing, then covered that industry for a bit, and saw Audible as a logical extension of that career path but also a radical departure from it in a way I found exciting. It was clear Don was building the future here.\n\n###### What do you like best about your work?\nMy communications colleagues and I are lucky to work across almost every team and project at Audible, so we are truly embedded cross-functionally. Externally it’s similar — we interface with listeners, local stakeholders, media, talent, and as we scale globally we are fine-tuning our storytelling to reflect cultural nuances. Making sure Audible gets the recognition it deserves for its leadership in digital media and in creating a new performance art, a new way to consume information and entertainment — this is always rewarding. \n\n###### What is the most memorable project you’ve work on at Audible?\nDoes anyone remember [Audible for Dogs](https://www.audible.com/ep/dogs)? I’ve also really enjoyed supporting a number of Audible service launches in new territories.\n\n###### Lightning Round:\n- __Coffee or tea?__ Tea\n- __Where are you working from currently?__ Our Newark hub or my house, depending on the day.\n- __How long have you been with Audible?__ 13 years, 5 months.\n- __Dine in or take out?__ Dine in.\n- __Favorite Audible listen, go.__ I am consistently impressed by our growing [Words + Music](https://www.audible.com/ep/Words+Music) catalog of Audible Originals. While my own taste in music is fairly specific, the storytelling in this series transcends that in ways that have redefined my own listening.\n"}}]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"7D6xDouCicv9wnyTYsTEp6","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-10-26T12:12:27.075Z","updatedAt":"2023-09-29T14:36:25.155Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":26,"revision":5,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"newsPost"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"title":"Cynthia Chu Thinks It’s an Exciting Time to be at Audible","slug":"cynthia-chu-thinks-its-an-exciting-time-to-be-at-audible","seo":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"2dOeUqCBIOle7myEmno7fn","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-10-18T14:14:01.487Z","updatedAt":"2022-10-18T14:14:01.487Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":3,"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"pageSeo"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"pageTitle":"Cynthia Chu Thinks It’s an Exciting Time to be at Audible","pageDescription":"Audible’s CFO and Growth Officer shares some of her inspirations in life and at work, including the opportunity to help drive Audible’s future as a leader in audio storytelling.","openGraphImage":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"PqzSxoW70UZ3S3CSe1T9S","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2022-10-18T14:13:50.800Z","updatedAt":"2022-10-18T14:13:50.800Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":13,"revision":1,"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"title":"Cynthia Chu Thinks It’s an Exciting Time to be at Audible","description":"Audible’s CFO and Growth Officer Cynthia Chu is sitting in Audible's Innovation Cathedral.
