What community support initiative has your company championed that you’re most proud of? Innovation is a mindset that we value deeply at Altice USA, and I’m very proud of the work we do to enable the next generation of thinkers and innovators through our support of STEM learning programs, most notably our sponsorship with FIRST Robotics and our annual Optimum Innovator Awards. By engaging with STEM students in these mentor-based programs, we can see the direct impact that we have within our communities and are truly proud of what we’ve been able to do to support STEM education and innovation on the local and national level.
