Michael Angelakis

Michael Angelakis is one of the most prominent financial executives in the media and telecommunications industry, widely recognized for his nearly decade-long tenure as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Comcast Corporation. In that role, he was a central architect of Comcast's financial strategy and major M&A activity, most notably the $30 billion acquisition of NBCUniversal from General Electric in 2011, a deal that fundamentally reshaped the American media landscape by combining the country's largest cable operator with a major broadcast network, film studio, and theme park business. After stepping down as Comcast CFO in 2015, Angelakis founded and led Atairos, a private investment firm backed by Comcast capital, focused on growth-oriented investments across media, technology, and consumer sectors. His career prior to Comcast included senior roles in private equity and finance. He has been a key figure in shaping Comcast's capital allocation, debt management, and strategic positioning across broadband, cable, and media. Note: As of this writing, Michael Angelakis's confirmed current role is as founder and CEO of Atairos, not as CEO of Comcast — that role is held by Brian Roberts. The title and company provided may reflect an error or a very recent change not yet in available records.
