Comcast has announced it is restructuring its largest business unit while cutting a number of positions, with Philadelphia expected to see minimal impact, writes Ryan Mulligan for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The connectivity and platforms business is divided into three divisions and 13 regions, and encompasses Xfinity, Comcast Business, and Sky. The reorganization will retire the division structure, with all regions reporting directly to Comcast headquarters.
It is still unknown how many positions will be removed as part of the restructuring.
“This change is not a reflection of anyone’s contributions – it is about simplifying how we work so we can compete more effectively and position the company for the future,” wrote Comcast Connectivity and Platforms CEO Dave Watson and COO Steve Croney in a memo to employees.
The three divisions being eliminated are headquartered in New Hampshire, Atlanta, and California.
The new structure will take effect in January, with the regions reporting directly to Amy Lynch, current president of the Northeast Division, who will be promoted to President of Regional Operations.
Comcast currently employs around 195,000 staff, with approximately 14,000 of those in Philadelphia.
