Emily Waldorf

Under Waldorf’s leadership, Comcast launched connectivity options like Storm-Ready WiFi, which earned Comcast a spot on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list in 2024. She also spearheaded NOW Internet, NOW Mobile and WiFi Pass, ensuring affordable connectivity alternatives to the Affordable Connectivity Program as it concluded. Through streamlined go-to-market strategies and a focus on inclusive access, Waldorf has expanded flexible high-quality service options to serve diverse customer segments while championing connectivity as an essential right.

“I am working on intentional networking, which is identifying people whom I would like to know and intentionally seeking opportunities to meet and learn from them and exchange stories in a one-on-one setting. It takes longer and requires thought, but I’ve found this is more my style for expanding my own personal circle.”

What podcast do you recommend for current and/or aspiring leaders? I love “Career Gems for the Journey,” a great podcast that provides bite-sized bits of information on how to think about advancing your career, with an emphasis on underrepresented talent.

What do you believe is the next big disruption facing the industry? AI and Convergence. AI will become integral to our operations over the coming years as we find new use cases. There is a deeper level of convergence we have yet to tap, with enhanced networked features that connect both wired and wireless solutions, and eventually define a completely seamless experience whether in or out of the home.
