Cohen works tirelessly to evolve perceptions of Comcast. He’s been the driving force behind the launch and growth of broadband adoption program Internet Essentials since 2011.

Harris cuts through the legal-ese that naturally surrounds the day-to-day operations of an entertainment behemoth, and is a front-line champion for all NBCU business dealings. Bringing more than 35 years of experience in strategic communications to the table, Rudnay was invaluable in the Dreamworks Animation and NBCU transactions, and has been celebrated by her peers for her leadership in her field—finding her name on Cablefax’s “Most Powerful Women” list for the last seven years.
