What’s your favorite part of the job?
When I walk into the office each morning I know that my day will be different from the one before it. Consumer behavior constantly changes as technology does, too.
What’s been the biggest story in cable this year?
IP delivery. IP means infinite ways to serve the consumer and consumer behavior is driving advancements and innovation that couldn’t have been imagined just ten years ago. Further, mobile devices are changing the ways consumers interact with content. These shifts are driving us to dream big and deliver big for customers every day.
Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance?
