Comcast promoted Vicki Williams to the newly created role of chief human resources officer, in addition to her current position as head of HR at NBCUniversal — meaning she’ll lead the human resources teams and strategy across the company’s entire media and cable portfolio.

Also Tuesday, Comcast said Bill Strahan, executive VP of human resources for Connectivity & Platforms business who has played a key role in developing Comcast’s HR strategy for the past 20 years, will retire later in 2026. With Strahan’s retirement, Melanie Penna will be promoted to chief human resources officer of Comcast’s Connectivity & Platforms business.
