Bridges spent the past year immersed in lofty work—aligning the industry around a long-term technology strategy and development plan to drive the cable industry into the next decade. This has involved bringing together the CTOs of CableLabs 60-plus member companies to drive a renewed focus on network evolution. Additionally, he led an industry-wide roadmap to align funding with the key technology priorities. Ahead for Bridges are new initiatives focused on pervasive intelligence, seamless connectivity and network platform evolution, as well as the evolution of the technology research.

TV series everyone should binge: “For All Mankind”—it is excellent storytelling about taking risks, asking yourself “what if?” and being resourceful. It also demonstrates the influence of politics on major programs. Lots of good drama!

Favorite way to de-stress? Watching my (University of Georgia) Dawgs play!
