W. Erik Carlson
Title: President & COO, DISH (pictured, right)
Years in Pay-TV: 20 years
Education: Bradley University
One Word that Best Describes Me: Loyal
Warren Schlichting
Title: EVP, Marketing,
Programming & Media
Sales, DISH
Years in Pay-TV: 14
Education: Harvard
University
One Word that Best Describes
Me: Adventurous
Over the last year, Carlson has led his team in
the execution of innovative initiatives that improved
the customer service experience for nearly
14 million customers across DISH's footprint.
His team created in-house, technology-based
solutions to address pay-TV consumer pain
points and enhance the company's technician
experience
in the field.
Complementing
his efforts
is Schlichting,
who oversaw
dozens of
carriage
negotiations
for news,
sports and
entertainment
networks.
He also completed a number of important
retransmission agreements with local broadcast
affiliates across the country.
Erik Carlson
What does the future look like for skinny
bundles and flexible packaging? Consumers
have demanded more choice and control
over their entertainment experience, and our
industry-our programming partners-must
pivot to meet these needs.
If this election year was a reality TV series, it
would be called... " The Year without a Santa Claus "
My favorite hashtag is: #dishlife, which
chronicles the DISH adventures of our employees
My pay-TV industry mentor and why:
Charlie... because he's Charlie. He built a Fortune
250 giant from the ground up, and he keeps
the entire industry on its toes with an eye to the
future of pay-TV.
Warren Schlichting
What does the future look like for skinny
bundles and flexible packaging? Like water
running downhill.
My first job: Pumping gas at a Lake Marina in
Kansas
Favorite charity event you work with: Summer
Search, an organization that inspires lowincome
students to become college-educated
leaders by providing mentorship and offering
life-changing experiences like the group's summer
wilderness expeditions.
If this election year was a reality TV series, it
would be called... " You (Should be) Fired " ■
