FEB. 5, 2018 (Exton, PA)-Dave Watson, president and CEO of Comcast Cable and senior executive vice president of Comcast Corporation, will be a featured speaker during the SCTE ISBE Leadership Institute at Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth, it was announced today by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE), SCTE's global brand, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), and Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth.

Year in and year out, our fireside chat tradition of bringing C-level insights to attendees is among the most highly anticipated elements of the SCTE ISBE-Tuck curriculum, said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE ISBE. We're very grateful to Dave Watson for committing his time and energy to enrich the educational experience for the next generation of industry leaders.
Watson, who will be joined at SCTE ISBE-Tuck by Tony Werner, president, Technology and Product, for Comcast Cable, is responsible for all business aspects of Comcast's cable operations. Previously, Watson served as chief operating officer where he drove the operating strategy and execution that have led the phenomenal growth of Comcast Cable into the nation's largest ISP and one of the largest video providers. Watson was among several CEOs who were featured speakers at SCTE ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017, in Denver.
Now in its eighth year, the SCTE ISBE Leadership Institute at Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth attracts elite professionals who include senior directors, vice presidents, senior and executive vice presidents, and C-level executives from across the cable industry. The immersive curriculum offers opportunities for intensive learning and peer interaction for executives representing service providers, technology partners, industry associations, and other organizations. In 2017, its 62 attendees and 4.9 rating (out of a possible 5.0) tied records set in 2016 for attendees and student satisfaction. Applications for the SCTE ISBE-Tuck program are available for qualified executives in the United States and abroad at http://www.scte.org/tuck.
