One Word that Best Describes Me: Resourceful

Lopez started out working as a part-time customer service rep more than 20 years ago at Comcast. Known as a realist and a truth-teller, he’s gone on the record saying customers indeed have had bad experiences with Comcast, adding that progress is made from learning what doesn’t work. He says negative experiences can—and will —make Comcast a stronger business. He subscribes to “The Power of One,” a phrase commonly used around the region that reminds employees of their ability to positively impact customer interaction.
