SVP, National Video Development Engineering, Comcast Cable

Ceasar’s foresight and strategy for video deployment includes complex, cross-company initiatives and infrastructure projects. Leading the overall vision, direction and management of all national video deployment engineering projects for Comcast’s video offerings and infrastructure, she and her team deploy thousands of video infrastructure components and deliver software to millions of set-top boxes across the Comcast footprint. Her favorite show? “Madam Secretary” on CBS, “because it features a strong and smart leader, who balances her job and family and supports and develops her team,” she says. A graduate of the Illinois Institute of Technology, Ceasar is passionate about getting more girls interested in engineering. She’s a huge supporter of the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics competition.
