Carol Eggert, a retired U.S. Army Brigadier General and Senior Vice President (SVP) of Military and Veteran Affairs at Comcast NBCUniversal, shared the story behind her title with us on Sunday, June 9 2019.
As SVP, Carol leads a team that works collaboratively across Comcast NBCUniversal to provide strategic leadership to all aspects of programs and outreach engaging the military and veteran community, including recruiting, hiring and building talent at all levels of the organization.
Carol brings more than 30 years of military and civilian experience to Comcast. In her civilian role, she assisted various organizations in the private, government and non-profit sectors with their initiatives in knowledge management, strategic planning and project management. During her military career, she served in a variety of command and staff positions and completed numerous overseas deployments, including a 15- month combat tour in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as Chief of the Women’s Initiatives Division and Senior Liaison to the U.S. Embassy, Baghdad, where she conducted a full-scale analysis of women’s initiatives and developed a strategic plan for the economic and political empowerment of Iraqi women under the U.S. Secretary of State.
"Carol grew up one of eight children from a close knit family and a mom and dad who placed significant emphasis on education. With an opportunity at the age of 17 to receive that education, she joined the army and through steady initiative, became a Brigadier General. Her leadership did not stop there."
