Before Suddenlink, he was Division Vice President of Engineering for Charter Communications’ Southeast Division, serving some two million customers in nine states. He assumed this role in January 1999 and was responsible for the technical management of approximately 120,000 miles of cable plant and over 700 headend facilities.

The $3.5 billion dollar upgrade plan was completed on time and below budget. Mr. Cordova also drove the deployment of digital cable, high-speed Internet, and video-on-demand (VOD) services – ultimately making digital service available to 99% of all customers, high-speed Internet to more than 94%, and VOD to nearly 40% of the digital customer base.
