NAMED SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS & COMMITTEE CHAIRS FOR SCTE ISBE BOARD

FEB. 7, 2018 (Exton, PA)-The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), today announced the appointment of four Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) as non-voting observers of the SCTE ISBE Board of Directors and as chairs of select board committees for the current year.

The four executives, who collectively bring more than eight decades of senior level experience to their positions, provide the Board with invaluable expertise that will guide the creation of programs and policies intended to increase the value of SCTE ISBE to its operator, technology partner, and individual members.

The appointments include the naming of Dave Fellows, Co-founder and CTO, Layer3 TV, a T-Mobile company, as chair of the Engineering Committee, and expanded roles as SMEs for three existing committee chairs: Jim Hughes, Vice President, North American MSO Sales, CommScope, Governance and Nomination Committees; Andy Parrott, Senior Vice President, Operations, Altice Technical Services, Learning & Development Committee; and Dr. Martha Soehren, Chief Talent Development Officer and Senior Vice President, Comcast, Compensation Committee and Learning & Development SME.

Last year's report by the Cable Industry Organization Review Committee underscored SCTE ISBE's significant contributions to our industry, said Bill Warga, Vice President, Technology, for Liberty Global and Chair of the SCTE ISBE Board of Directors. As leaders in their fields and as longtime contributors to SCTE ISBE, they all are well positioned to provide expert insights to ensure the Society remains aligned with the needs of the industry in the years ahead.

A winner of the Vanguard Award for Technology, Dave Fellows has helped advance the industry's technological growth as CTO of Comcast, AT&T Broadband, and numerous other cable operators, as an investor and as a consultant. His contributions with SCTE ISBE include founding and serving as longtime chair of the Data Standards Subcommittee and serving as Chief Scientist of SCTE ISBE's Energy 2020 program for the industry.

Throughout his career, Jim Hughes has been an active contributor to organizations that are responsible for implementation of new technologies. Hughes served on the NCTA Engineering Committee, was Vice President and fundraising chair of the SCTE Foundation Board of Directors, and most recently was Secretary of the SCTE ISBE Board of Directors.

As Corporate Vice President of Suddenlink Communications, Andy Parrott integrated SCTE ISBE learning and development programs into Suddenlink training, boosting workforce expertise and contributing to measureable improvements in customer satisfaction. As L&D Chair, he has continued to drive the creation of programs that improve workforce skills and knowledge and deliver value for the industry.

During 18 years with Comcast, Martha Soehren has established herself as a leader in workforce education and career advancement. She recently served on the SCTE ISBE Board of Directors, where her insights were instrumental in shaping development of the Society's next-generation learning environment, the CORTEX Expert Development System .

These four new advisors are expected to attend SCTE ISBE's next Board meeting, which will be conducted tomorrow, Feb. 8, in Denver.
