Comcast said Monday it has named Michael Cavanagh as senior executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Cavanagh will replace CFO Michael Angelakis, who is moving to chief executive of a new strategic investment company. The transition is expected to be completed this summer, Comcast said.
Cavanagh is co-president and co-chief operating officer at the Carlyle Group, a global alternative asset manager based in New York. Previously, he was CFO and a member of JPMorgan Chase's operating committee.
"I'm so thrilled Mike is joining our team," Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts said in a statement. "He is a world-class executive with significant experience leading and overseeing large companies with multiple, complex businesses. He has had a distinguished career that spans more than two decades, is incredibly talented, and will be a great leader for Comcast."
