The title marks the broadening of Rudnay’s duties to include management of Comcast’s brand, image and reputation in the aftermath of the NBCUniversal deal.
Rudnay, who retains the senior VP-corporate communications position, reports to David Cohen, executive VP, and will handle special projects with CEO Brian Roberts.
In a statement, Roberts called Rudnay a great partner who has been involved in “all our major deals to design and execute appropriate messaging strategies and she has been a terrific leader in facilitating consistent communications for the entire Comcast family of companies.”
Prior to Comcast, Rudnay was VP-corporate communications & media relations at Lincoln Financial Group; VP-communications & corporate identity at Advanta Corp., and communications manager at Pew Charitable Trusts.
Abernathy MacGregor Group, which is part of Havas, handles Comcast.
