Brigitte Daniel

As an award winning ‘telecom visionary’ and vocal advocate for gender and cultural diversity in the tech industry, Brigitte Daniel is the Executive Vice President of Wilco Electronic Systems, her family’s private cable operation that has specialized in providing affordable technologies to underserved communities as well as provided platform integration solutions for intelligent security access technologies, for over 40 years.

Over the last 10 years, Brigitte has created several substantial private/public partnerships providing innovative solutions to address digital disparities and lack of representation within technology sectors across the Nation, thus positioning Wilco, as a broadband and technology leader, and now an smart home and Internet Of Things (IOT) platform integrator, with a focus on underrepresented and urban communities.
