Nancy Tellem is paving the way for women in Detroit to hit their professional stride by pairing them with women who wish to mentor them as one of the founders of BasBlue, a non-profit networking organization housed in a renovated midtown Detroit mansion.
As president of CBS Entertainment, Tellem has overseen programming for CBS since 1998, and was number three on Hollywood Reporter’s 2003 Power 100 of Women in Entertainment.
A native of California, Tellem moved to metro Detroit in 2015 when her husband, Arn Tellem, took on the position as vice chairman of the Detroit Pistons.
