Sam Schwartz

I’m involved with a lot of the innovation projects at Comcast: helping to plan and build Comcast’s new Internet and cross-platform products, developing the next generation of Comcast’s software infrastructure, working with and investing in great early-stage companies, and developing relationships with important partners that can help us innovate faster. I have a background as a software developer, business strategy consultant, venture capital investor and product developer.

As Managing Partner of Comcast Interactive Capital (CIC), I lead our venture capital fund including investments in many private technology companies. We’ve made investments in over 100 early-stage companies in the last ten years. I especially enjoy working with young companies and talented entrepreneurs and have tried to replicate some of that culture in the groups I manage at Comcast.

At Comcast Interactive Media (CIM), I serve as EVP of Strategy and Development and am focused on growing Comcast’s emerging Internet businesses, including Fancast.com and Comcast.net. I also focus on building CIM through acquisition, having done five acquisitions since we began CIM in 2006. We’ve developed a really special set of people and culture within a large company that allows us to integrate our acquired teams well and create new consumer experiences very quickly while having a lot of fun doing it.

Both roles require me to stay fully engaged in cutting-edge technology development which is a personal passion. Since I joined Comcast ten years ago, the company has seen tremendous growth and change, and I love the opportunities we have in front of us. The Internet boom has allowed us to create new products and services that meet the growing demand of customers that want content immediately and in a variety of ways.

In my spare time, I love being with my family, serve on the board of directors of Breastcancer.org, build all kinds of things around my house, take great trips with a special passion for Yellowstone, and I have lived in every major East Coast city from Miami to Boston.
