Hegar leads Charter field operations in the bustling Carolinas region—an area where he proved his chops while at TWC. Among his accomplishments, he oversaw a move to increase broadband Internet speeds in Charlotte and Raleigh by six-fold. Though Hegar hesitates to give the entire industry a grade on diversity, he notes, “The cable industry continues to consolidate and transform itself based on market needs. Charter is transforming the way it views diversity and is laying a great foundation for moving diversity to the next level. I hope we’ll see other companies transform their employee base to be more reflective of the customers they serve.”
