“APAICS has made great strides in the last year in developing the infrastructure to support the surge in political growth of our community,” said APAICS President and CEO Gloria Chan. “I am honored to work with Susan to fulfill our mission.” 

Jin Davis brings her knowledge and expertise to help Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities thrive. Jin Davis has over 20 years experience in the communications industry.

Jin Davis’s skills and leadership has not only developed new business opportunities to enhance Comcast’s services, but she has also helped bridge new relationships between the company and the AAPI community. Jin Davis steers Comcast’s diversity efforts, particularly with the AAPI community. She has significantly increased the distribution of Asian American programing with the newly launched Cinema Asian America, which serves as a platform to countless forms of entertainment that star or were produced by AAPIs. Most recently, Jin Davis negotiated the historic Memorandum of Understanding between Comcast and the AAPI community during the company’s merger with NBC Universal. The groundbreaking commitment creates growth in areas of programming, supplier and employment diversity, and community investment.
