Comcast and merger partner NBCU announced the San Francisco-based, $750M fund in late September, a combination of the companies' respective VC units focused on funding media-centric start-ups.
Warner makes the move from educational software company Chegg, where she was VP of communications and moved after corporate PR stints at Microsoft and Match.com. She previously worked on the agency side at Publicis and Waggener Edstrom Worldwide.
At CV, she leads strategic communications for the unit, a new post, and will work with portfolio companies on marketing and branding.
VC's investments include the female-focused blogging community BlogHer, location-based news service fwix and sports news network SB Nation, among others.
