Vaccaro, who will be based in the company’s Livermore , will oversee Comcast’s government affairs and telecommunications policy matters throughout the state and manage a team of government affairs field directors.
“We are thrilled to add Sue Vaccaro to Comcast’s talented Government Affairs team,” said Stutts, in a statement. “Her extensive experience in California government relations and legislative advocacy, combined with her skill in directing large government affairs teams, will be valuable assets in Comcast’s relationships with local elected officials and municipal agencies.”
