Derek Harrar

I’m responsible for the TV service one-in-five U.S. households watch when families kick back on the sofa at night. That includes basic and digital cable, HD, DVR and On Demand. Our video team in Philadelphia works tirelessly to improve all these services from where they are today. We are never satisfied with what we have and are the ones brainstorming and doing consumer research to outline the aggressive roadmap we plan for the coming years. Of course, the overall video responsibility is shared with tens-of-thousands of Comcast employees across the country, your neighbors who implement our video services everyday.

The vast majority of my time outside the office is consumed by my wife and three daughters. Any remaining personal time is dedicated to being a pathetic automobile nut (e.g. if you look over my left shoulder, you can faintly see the bent valve from an E30M3 engine I blew at Sears Point Raceway).
