Legacy
Co-leads Comcast with a focus on capital allocation, operations, portfolio structure, and the planned media separation. Cavanagh joined Comcast as CFO in 2015 after more than two decades in financial services, including serving as JPMorgan Chase's CFO for six years through the 2008 financial crisis and later as co-CEO of its Corporate & Investment Bank. He was promoted to Comcast president in 2022 and named co-CEO alongside Brian Roberts in 2026, holding a history degree from Yale. As co-CEO, Cavanagh has taken on operational oversight of Comcast's cable and broadband businesses, complementing Brian Roberts's continued focus on content and strategic direction, a division of responsibilities the board designed to prepare for eventual full leadership succession. His six years navigating JPMorgan through the 2008 financial crisis as CFO gave him crisis-management experience that the Comcast board viewed as valuable amid the cable industry's own structural disruption from cord-cutting and streaming competition.
