Comcast has announced the appointment of Tiffany Harvey as Vice President, Government & Regulatory Affairs. She will be replacing Sean Looney, who is retiring the end of the year.
In her role, Harvey will lead Comcast’s government advocacy programs in Maryland and Delaware and represent the company’s interests in front of the state legislatures along with respective executive branch agencies and Attorney General offices.
A Maryland resident since 1990 with extensive legislative and legal affairs experience, Harvey previously was Director of State and Government Affairs for Verizon, handling legislative matters before the Maryland General Assembly. Prior to that, she served as Chief Counsel for Legislative Affairs in the Office of the County Executive for Prince George’s County in Largo, Maryland, and the Office of the Attorney General in Baltimore.
“Tiffany has a deep understanding of our industry and the local municipalities we serve,” said Robert Omberg, Vice President of Government & Regulatory Affairs for Comcast’s Northeast Division. “We are thrilled to have her representing Comcast in Annapolis and Dover, promoting our high-value products and services and the substantial investments we make in the communities where we live and work.”
Harvey will continue her community engagement and involvement with youth development, drawing on a rich history of local volunteerism in support of the Montgomery County Street Law Program, mentoring Baltimore area high school students and managing diversity initiatives like the Thurgood Marshall Clerkship Program for the State of Maryland’s Office of the Attorney General. In concert with her advocacy work and relationship-building with policy makers, she will continue to raise awareness of Comcast’s longstanding commitments to close the digital divide for residents and businesses in need through programs including Internet Essentials, Lift Zones and Comcast RISE.
“Comcast provides a wonderful opportunity to blend my experiences in government, law and community service with a world class innovation platform that connects people with technology that matters most and plays an important role in the lives of our customers, employees and communities,” said Harvey. “I am thrilled to continue this exciting work in supporting our impactful initiatives in Maryland and Delaware.”
Harvey earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Maryland and a Bachelor’s in Political Science from the University of Richmond. She resides in Columbia, Maryland.
