Herrin works with leaders throughout the company to ensure customers are front and center when it comes to business decisions. As a former SVP of product design and development, he knows all about the X1 platform. A 23-year Comcast veteran, Avgiris’ contributions have resulted in significant expansion of its Internet and phone services. She was behind the company’s partnership with Verizon Wireless and Comcast’s WiFi initiative. Comcast Business raked in $4.7 billion in revenue in 2015 with Stemper at the helm, up from $265 million in 2006. He’ll continue build on Comcast’s position in the enterprise market and expand its national network. Watson covers field ops, customer service, marketing, advertising and more. Customer service improvements and taking products to scale have been top priorities in the past year, which has resulted in reduced churn and subscriber growth in 4Q ’15.
