Jeffrey Powell is the youngest son of the late General Colin Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Alma Vivian Powell, a notable advocate for children's education. Born into a family deeply embedded in public service and military tradition, he grew up in the New York City area where his father began his distinguished career. He pursued higher education at Georgetown University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English, which equipped him with strong communication skills essential for his later roles. Powell built a professional career in the cable and telecommunications industry, starting with positions at cable companies and trade associations. He has held significant roles including Senior Vice President of the NCTA before ascending to the position of President and CEO of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA – The Internet & Television Association) in 2015. In this capacity, he represents the interests of major cable operators and broadband providers, influencing policy on issues like net neutrality, spectrum allocation, and digital infrastructure. His leadership has focused on adapting the industry to the evolving landscape of streaming and internet services, positioning NCTA as a key voice in Washington, D.C., regulatory discussions. While maintaining a lower public profile compared to his father, his career exemplifies a transition from familial legacy in government and military to executive influence in the private sector. He resides in the Washington, D.C., area and continues to navigate the intersection of business, technology, and policy without notable public controversies or legal issues documented in major sources.
