LOUISVILLE, CO – Phil McKinney has been named as the next president and CEO of CableLabs.
An author, speaker, and columnist, McKinney has served as the vice-president and chief technology officer for Hewlett-Packard’s personal systems group, where he was responsible for long-range strategic planning and research and development for the company’s PC product lines, as well as SVP and CIO at Teligent, and director at CSC.
McKinney replaces Dr. Paul Liao, who has led the laboratory since June 2009. Dr. Liao said last fall that he would not renew his contract, which is set to expire this December.
“We’re thrilled to have a technologist of Phil’s caliber joining CableLabs,” said Glenn Britt, chairman of the CableLabs board of directors, in the announcement. “For 24 years, CableLabs has helped the cable industry be at the forefront of communications innovation, and that role has never been more critical than it is today. Phil’s expertise in innovation and consumer technologies will ensure that CableLabs stays ahead of the technology curve and fuels cable’s continued growth with innovation.”
