Lisa Bonnell

Financial acumen, technical expertise and commitment to high operating standards have made Bonnell a key asset to Comcast since 2011. The company recognized her enviable skill set by promoting her to her current post earlier this year, where she leads Comcast’s internal audit function and oversees the performance for financial, operational and systems audits, among other responsibilities. Bonnell believes cyber security will continue to elevate in importance. “The speed at which attackers are innovating daily makes it challenging for any company/industry to completely mitigate all risk of a cyber-breach, putting our customers’ services and our reputations at risk,” she says.

What industry topic do you think will dominate industry headlines in 2018 and why? 
Cyber security and the risk/impact of breaches will continue to make headlines in all industries. The speed at which attackers are innovating daily makes it challenging for any company/industry to completely mitigate all risk of a cyber-breach, putting our customers’ services and our reputations at risk.

What famous woman, living or deceased, would you like to have dinner with? 
Cleopatra (last female Pharaoh of Egypt).  I think it would be fascinating to hear how she ruled at 17 years old, how she spoke 7 languages, how her rule was based on her charisma, etc.

Best advice for relieving stress? 
I highly recommend “Woga” = Wine + Yoga
