Maria Arias

Executive Director, Diversity and Inclusion
Comcast

Arias directs Comcast’s diversity program strategy across all corporate and business units, including Comcast Cable, NBCU and Comcast-Spectacor, with a focus on governance, workforce, supplier diversity, programming and community investment. Her strategic leadership has led to a number of achievements for Comcast, including Latina Style magazine’s coveted award for Company of the Year and “The Best Place to Work for Latinas” and achieving a perfect score on the 2013 Corporate Equality Index. “Because the digital divide disproportionately impacts low-income communities and communities of color, championing digital access and education for our young people is a priority at Comcast,” she says.
