419: Uncompromising Success with Steve White

How does a kid from the housing projects make it to the corporate boardroom?

 

For Steve White, the climb from the housing projects to the corporate boardroom was the result of an uncompromising attitude and work ethic. As president of Comcast’s West Division for eleven years, Steve was responsible for all Comcast operations in the Western U.S., leading nearly thirty thousand employees, serving almost eleven million customers, and driving annual revenue of nearly $18 billion.

Today, Steve serves the role of special counsel to the CEO of Comcast Cable—the largest division of Comcast Corporation and one of the top 20 companies in the U.S.

He is the author of the book, Uncompromising: How an Unwavering Commitment to Your Why Leads to an Impactful Life and a Lasting Legacy.
