POLICY
Elizabeth Andrion
SVP, Regulatory Affairs
Charter Communications
Andrion and team have
worked tirelessly to ensure
Charter's voice is heard when
it comes to retransmission
consent, pole attachments,
spectrum and other key regulatory
concerns. A mentor and guide for women in
the business, her mentees have grown and thrived in
their areas of expertise and her wins at the FCC have
benefited both the industry and consumers.
A skill I'm working on is resisting the
overwhelming urge to fix things and realizing
that there is such a thing as too much
foresight. I've watched my mom deal with
the same realizations throughout her life, along with
some female colleagues throughout my career, and
have wondered if this may cut along gender lines. "
Catherine
Bohigian
EVP, Regulatory Affairs
Charter Communications
With over 25 years of experience
in the communications
industry, Bohigian
has been essential to
helping Charter deliver
high-speed internet access to tens of thousands
of homes and small businesses across its footprint
through partnerships and programs such as RDOF.
In the past year she was named one of Washington's
500 most influential people in policy.
A podcast I recommend is 'How I Built This'
with Guy Raz. His interviews with entrepreneurs
prove that leaders come in all shapes
and sizes and that failures are just a part of
growth, if you handle them right. "
Kimberley Harris
EVP, Comcast Corp.
General Counsel, NBCUniversal
Harris is a longstanding force at
NBCU who played key roles both
in the company's coverage of
the 2024 Paris Olympics and in
guiding the launch of Universal
Epic Universe in Orlando, slated
for 2025. She brings that same
passion and gusto to uplifting.
From 2017 to 2022, she led The
Women's Network, NBCU's largest
employee resource group, which
champions women's professional
development.
I admire all of the women
of the U.S. Olympic
team-they demonstrated
incredible skill, perseverance,
resilience and overall
excellence at the Paris Games.
Almost two-thirds of the gold
medals and more than half of the
total medals won by Team USA
were won by women at the 2024
Games. "
Alexa Verveer
EVP, Global Government
Affairs & Public Policy
Warner Bros. Discovery
With 20-plus years of government
affairs experience in
the media industry, Verveer's
X-factor is a combination of
strategic mindset, political and
business acumen, and ability to
forge relationships with governmental
leaders. She works
hand-in-glove with internal
stakeholders and industry
peers to promote favorable tax
treatments surrounding the
industry's investments in local
economies, across international
markets to preserve and protect
a free press, and she has built
successful public-private partnerships
to scale WBD's impact.
She also oversaw the corporate
social responsibility and standards
and practices teams at
the company.
Rachel Welch
SVP, Federal Affairs
Charter Communications
Welch has led advocacy efforts with
the White House and key federal
agencies to ensure Charter's views
are known and considered, especially
on key issues related to spectrum
policy, broadband deployment and
policies that stand to negatively
impact consumer choice and protections.
A " doer " who is always willing
to support other business units in
their efforts to achieve shared company
goals that benefit Charter employees,
customers and the communities
they serve, Welch has built positive
relationships both inside and outside
the organization.
While I'm not a 'Swiftie,' it's
undeniable the impact Taylor
Swift has had on music, pop
culture, young women and
men-even politics. She serves as a
role model for millions, and her artistic
range and output as well as her
business acumen of capitalizing is
unparalleled among her peers. "
