Wright-Davis
GVP, Customer Service
Charter Communications
Developing the talent that surrounds
Wright-Davis is huge for her. She's led
her team in the transition to supporting
customer chat on digital platforms, a
growing area of need for Charter. She
draws inspiration from her involvement
with NAMIC and The WICT Network,
but finds more ways to teach through
the Spectrum Multicultural Business
Resource Group and mentorship.
WHAT DOES WORK-LIFE BALANCE MEAN
TO YOU? Finding your flow-being
able to seamlessly integrate work
responsibilities with your personal life.
At Charter, we support flexibility and
encourage everyone to find their flow.
This means offering benefits that truly
matter, such as paid time off, development
opportunities, college education,
healthcare and mental health
resources. These benefits provide the
peace of mind that allows me to be the
best wife, mother, daughter, friend and
employee I can be.
