Spectrum recently announced the promotion of Dave Rodrian to Senior Vice President, Connectivity Products. In this role, Rodrian will oversee the newly formed Connectivity organization responsible for the strategy and development of Spectrum’s Internet, WiFi and Voice products. The appointment coincides with the retirement of Carl Leuschner following a 17-year career with the Company, including the last seven as Senior Vice President, Internet and Voice Products.
“To better reflect how customers experience our services and to accelerate innovation, we are bringing together Internet, WiFi and Voice into a single organization under Dave’s leadership,” said Danny Bowman, Executive Vice President, Product. “Dave’s deep expertise in connectivity and proven track record in product development make him ideally suited to lead this team and deliver for our customers.”
An industry veteran who first joined Spectrum in 2009, Rodrian brings extensive experience in product and innovation leadership to his new role. He most recently served as Group Vice President, WiFi Products, leading the deployment of Spectrum’s suite of Advanced WiFi routers since the launch of WiFi 6E, the converged connectivity experience with Speed Boost, and data offload via the Spectrum Mobile Wireless Network. Under his leadership, Spectrum became the fastest growing WiFi 7 provider and this year launched WiFi 7 extenders and Invincible WiFi, which was recognized by WiFi Now as the “Best In-Home WiFi Product.”
Rodrian previously served as Spectrum’s Group Vice President of Internet Products, leading the team responsible for developing new connectivity services, products, and equipment, including the launch of DOCSIS 3.1 and 1 Gbps service across Spectrum’s service area. He also has held roles leading the Voice, Email, and Customer Identity Product Teams at Spectrum. Prior to joining Spectrum, Rodrian spent five years at Level 3 Communications in the corporate strategy and development group.
