The InfluenTIals
including the Boys & Girls Club of
Chicago, and he coaches minorities
in NAMIC and WICT looking to break
into the cable industry. " I always
enjoy sharing whatever I can to help
prepare them for the next challenges
in their careers, " says Parker.
leslie Pearce
VP of sales and
Retention
Operations,
Central Division,
Comcast Cable
Pearce has been a
boon for Comcast,
streamlining her division's call center
and ensuring customers are routed to
the best-qualified personnel immediately.
" Our customers are very important
to us, and making certain we maintain
a high level of customer satisfaction
is paramount, " she says. The result? A
more efficient sales center that keeps
costs down and raises customer retention.
She's pleased with the increased
opportunities offered to multicultural
candidates and believes the industry
needs to make certain they have the
" education, experience and sponsorship
to ensure success. "
sitarah Pendelton-eaglin
former VP, Current
Programming, style
Over the last year,
Pendelton-Eaglin
oversaw production
of several Style series
and played a key role
in the network's ambitious slate of new
original series announced in February.
She was executive producer on two of
those new series, " XOX Betsey Johnson "
and " Resale Royalty. " " Coming
from a production background into the
much more corporate environment of a
network executive was an adjustment, "
she says. " And with the guidance of my
mentors they helped me understand
the various nuances of thriving on this
side of the business. "

Bret Perkins
VP, external and
Government affairs,
Comcast Corp.
Forget office politics.
Perkins plays
ball with the real
legislative leaders
who make the big decisions affecting
Comcast's business interests. It's a
role that he says takes " smart, hardworking
people who know how to get
things done. " He's done a lot himself
since coming aboard in 2001, before
the company nearly tripled its operations.
Regulatory and local legislative
initiatives, grassroots communications
and political strategy are a few areas
he has influenced. He also plays a crucial
role in advancing digital literacy,
helping low-income families receive
discounted Internet through Comcast's
Internet Essentials program.
Indrajit Ponnambalam
Group VP, finance,
for Residential
Revenue and
subscriber
analytics, Time
Warner Cable
An able negotiator
who's at the forefront of deal-making
in support of TWC's new venture and
business partnerships, Ponnambalam
manages the company's finance
projects with aplomb. It's no wonder
Time Warner recently elevated him
to a more senior position. Assessing
the leadership across cable,
Ponnambalam says that although
the industry has made strides,
there's still work to do. " When we
look at the highest levels of most
organizations, I don't think we see the
same diverse set of individuals and/or
backgrounds as that of our customer
base. Bringing in a broader set of
views to the table-at all levels of an
organization-can only lead to more
robust debate and, ultimately, better
decision making. "
October 2013
sharmila Ravi
VP, Product
Management for
Communications
and Data services,
Comcast Cable
Honest mentors
shaped Ravi into the
leader she is today. " A lot of people
will tell you that you are good, but very
few will care enough to point out your
mistakes, " says Ravi. " Feedback is a
blessing. " She now has taken the baton
and mentors minorities through Comcast
and community associations. She
goes a step further in her role as VP of
the Desi Group, where she helps women
take on career and work life issues.
Jaime Rodriguez
VP, Business and
legal affairs
nBCuniversal
Not unlike former
Univision chief Cesar
Conde, Rodriguez just
this fall made a jump
from Univision to NBCU. He's now focusing
on international deals involving
alternative platforms for distribution of
the company's video content. A recent
electee to the national board of NAMIC,
where he will serve as Secretary to
the board, Rodriguez says: " Diversity
involves a great deal more than looking
solely at ethnicity and gender. In my
business experience, the most successful
teams are those made up not
only of ethnically and gender diverse
individuals but those that include individuals
with different backgrounds and
work experience. "
freddy Rolon
VP, esPn Deportes
Programming &
Business Initiatives,
esPn
It's game on when it
comes to programming
for U.S. Hispanic
sports fans, and Rolon has been
