Comcast Corp. has 189,000 employees, and Dalila Wilson-Scott wants to hear from all of them.
Wilson-Scott joined Comcast as the head of its charitable giving operation in 2016, and in 2020 she was promoted to chief diversity officer, while continuing to lead its philanthropic efforts. She took on that role months after George Floyd's murder at the hands of Minneapolis police sparked protests around the country and a larger conversation around racial injustice in the United States. Many companies announced new DEI efforts at the time and invested in hiring DEI leaders.
Comcast, in June 2020, committed $100 million to fighting injustice and inequality: $75 million in cash and $25 million worth of media to amplify multicultural content and make space for discussion of societal issues related to race. Internally, the company continued toward its goals for representation of women and people of color at all levels of the organization — it still has a ways to go, in the leadership ranks especially, but its tracking and publishing its progress over time.
