Not many people can multitask well. Albert is a salient exception. While negotiating key program carriage deals with content producers, he also deftly manages Cox’s multicultural programming strategy. A growing part of his job also now involves deploying video to PCs and tablets, plus video-on-demand and high-definition services to a constantly evolving customer base.
