As vice president of video programming and content marketing and strategy for Verizon, Denson will guide video product packaging, pricing and marketing strategies; video content acquisition and distribution agreements; and customer education, acquisition and retention planning.



"As we push to take advantage of the delivery capabilities of our broadband services, Terry will broaden our insights and refine our strategies to leverage, via programming and packaging, the services we provide, be they traditional or non-traditional, including TV over Internet protocol," said Marilyn O'Connell, senior vice president of broadband solutions for Verizon.
