Yesterday, emerging and established business and civic leaders gathered at Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt to hear from David Manougian, General Manager of Comcast SportsNet Northwest. Manougian’s varied and interesting career path provided an intriguing look into how success comes from doing what you enjoy and simply focusing on doing your job well. Manougian, who has worked in marketing and sales for E&J Gallo Winery and Nike Golf, led the Golf Channel to success and is now the General Manager of Comcast SportsNet Northwest.
Manougian also spoke passionately about company culture, saying “Companies need to have a culture to build effective teams. The culture needs to be palpable, people need to be able to eat, feel and touch it.” Building a brand and company culture is also the most important lesson that Manougian has learned; he emphasized that sometimes deciding what NOT to do is just as important to branding as what you are doing.
