SVP/GM, Cox Communications Virginia Region

McCollum is pleased that Cox quickly delivers products and services that customers demand in today’s world, citing the rollout of Cox’s next generation video experience—Contour—as a prime example. In June, McCollum and his team launched Connect-2-Compete, a broadband adoption initiative for low income households in his region. While he notes progress in supplying relevant content to communities, McCollum says “in the talent area, we need to ensure that our focus is not only on attracting diverse talent for entry-level roles, but also mentoring and nurturing talent for senior level positions.”
