“Washington is an amazing state, which leads rather than follows,” said Amy Lynch, Regional Senior Vice President, Comcast Washington. “This community is a hotbed of technological, philanthropic and customer service innovation. These values align perfectly with my own and those of Comcast. I am eager to explore how Comcast can best bring value not only to our customers, but how we can contribute to the corporate and civic communities that make Washington so strong.”
Most recently, Lynch served as the Vice President of Engineering Operations for Comcast in the West Division, where her portfolio included the deployment of next generation network infrastructure.
