Executive Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Comcast Corp.
Directing her company’s expansive diversity program, Arias ardently champions inclusion in the workforce, programming slate and community investments. She also plays a key role in driving multicultural initiatives forward. And people are taking note. In the last 12 months, Latina Style magazine proclaimed Comcast its “Company of the Year” and “The Best Place to Work for Latinas.” When true diversity and inclusions are achieved, Arias believes it brings “apparent respect, cohesion, and collaborative dynamic of maximizing the unique differences that each person contributes to the group. “
