Comcast names Craig D'Agostini vice president of government affairs in Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky

Comcast has promoted Craig D’Agostini to vice president of government affairs for the company’s Heartland region which includes Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky. He is based in Plymouth.

In this role, D’Agostini oversees all government and community affairs across the three-state region which serves more than 1.5 million customers and has more than 4,000 employees. His responsibilities include overseeing franchise and regulatory compliance and managing community investment initiatives, including the company’s Internet Essentials program that provides low-cost, high-speed Internet service to eligible low-income families.

D’Agostini has 16 years of experience in the telecommunications and cable industries. Most recently, he served as senior director of government affairs for Comcast in Houston. Prior to joining Comcast in 2008, he worked as a manager of franchising and regulatory affairs for Time Warner Cable’s Houston division.

“As we continue to hire more people, advance technology and implement other initiatives that make it easier for our customers to do business with us, it’s also vitally important that we work closely with government and community leaders,” said Tim Collins, senior vice president for Comcast’s Heartland region. “Craig brings the right skill set and leadership to this position to ensure we’re collaborating on economic and community development priorities across the region.”

D’Agostini earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in telecommunications from Indiana University and a Juris Doctor degree from New York Law School.
