Louisville, Colorado, May 30, 2012 —The CableLabs® Board of Directors has selected Phil McKinney as the next President and CEO of the laboratory.
“We’re thrilled to have a technologist of Phil’s caliber joining
CableLabs,” said Glenn A. Britt, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner Cable,
and Chairman of the CableLabs Board of Directors. “For 24 years,
CableLabs has helped the cable industry be at the forefront of
communications innovation, and that role has never been more critical
than it is today. Phil’s expertise in innovation and consumer
technologies will ensure that CableLabs stays ahead of the technology
curve and fuels cable’s continued growth with innovation.”
Comcast President and CEO Neil Smit, and Vice-Chairman of the

experience that spans multiple industries and technologies and a vision
that will continue to move our industry forward.”
An author, speaker, innovation mentor and columnist, McKinney has

technology officer for Hewlett-Packard’s Personal Systems Group, where
he was responsible for long-range strategic planning and research and
development for all of the company’s PC product lines. He has also
served as Senior Vice President and CIO at Teligent, and Director at
CSC.
McKinney recently published his first book, “Beyond The Obvious,” a
