Additionally, she’s responsible for ensuring Comcast’s compliance with governmental and third-party conditions and commitments arising from the Comcast NBCU joint venture, and for coordinating NBCU’s compliance. “We should all be ready to call things out, even if it’s not happening to us personally,” Laine suggests as a way the industry can rid itself of gender discrimination.

What is one way the industry can continue to evolve in ridding itself of gender discrimination?
By challenging men and women to speak up when they see something go on that shouldn’t—we should all be ready to call things out, even if it’s not happening to us personally. Letting things go continues bad behavior.
