The boss of the new Comcast tower is cable's 'undisputed technical leader' who leads the pack ...
Summary
Up before dawn, he takes a spin on his internet-connected Peloton bike, plows through morning emails, and is out the door for a 20-minute walk to the Comcast campus for his “7:30 stand-up” — Werner’s daily briefing on projects in the pipeline. The books he’s reading or recently finished tell a lot about his management philosophy — Measure What Matters by John Doerr , described as a “handbook for setting and achieving audacious goals,” and the bestseller Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. Raised in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., Werner launched his cable career as general manager of the 1,000-subscriber system in Silsbee, Texas, north of Beaumont. Before Comcast, Werner traveled the globe as a top tech executive for Liberty Global, which is based in Denver and part of cable mogul and multibillionaire John Malone’s stable of companies.
