Gregg Fujimoto
SVP, Field Operations -
Hawaii
Charter Communications
THE WHY? When he and his team
aren't maintaining Charter's network
across Hawaii's unique terrain,
Fujimoto supports his community any
way he can. He helped build partnerships
to provide content for the
Spectrum News App in Hawaii and
hires a diverse workforce to reflect
the community's culture. He's a board
member for after-school initiative
REACH and has made a personal
commitment to set up service programs
for unserved and financially
challenged customers.
HE SAYS... " One of the best things
about Hawaii is that it's one of the
most diverse states in the country,
and therefore offers businesses a
highly diverse talent pool. "
BUCKET LIST TRAVEL DESTINATION?
Somewhere with good
food, water and something totally
different.
Talaya Gaines
VP, Content Strategy &
Original Programming
MSG Networks
THE WHY? Gaines creatively pushes
the DEI boundaries of MSG Nets'
content offerings through originally
produced, branded, licensed and
acquired programming. Recently,
she was instrumental in developing a
profile of the Battle of the Reel Jollof,
an event celebrating African culture,
food and sport, and in June she
spearheaded the company's Pride
Month coverage to include a threepart
panel series featuring LGBTQ+
trailblazers in sports. She's also a
supporter of the National Association
of Black Journalists.
SHE SAYS... " I think a successful
ERG understands how to be appropriately
disruptive when trying to
create change within an organization
while remaining true to the core
values for whom they are trying to
serve. "
Boris Gartner
CEO
LaLiga North America
THE WHY? A first-generation immigrant from Colombia, Gartner helped
launch an in-house studio last year that produces local content in both English
and Spanish in order to grow the U.S. audience by specifically targeting
first- and second-generation Hispanics and other younger demos. LaLiga
North America Studios produced 22 digital shows each week that garnered
more than 16 million video views. He also teamed with Alianza de Futbol, an
organization that provides Hispanic youth opportunities, to provide high-level
training from LaLiga.
HE SAYS... " The media and sports industries have made progress over the
past few years to look more like the audience they serve, but we still need to
be more representative. The people who work at front offices, and those who
are both on and behind the camera, need to represent the viewers and fans
they speak to. "

Javier Garcia
SVP, Sales & Marketing,
Comcast Florida Region
Comcast Cable
THE WHY? Garcia recently led network
expansions to six new markets
in the Florida Region that brought
consumers access to high-speed
internet for the first time. He also
serves as the executive sponsor for
the Florida Region Young Employee
Network ERG and is the national
champion for Unidos, one of Comcast's
largest ERGs through which
he helps educate, unite and empower
Hispanic/Latino professionals
at the company while creating an
environment where all employees
can embrace Hispanic cultures.
HE SAYS... " One of the most compelling
experiences that I get from
Unidos ERG is hearing first-hand
some of the insight and perspectives
from our employees as we discuss
important issues that truly matter to
them. "
