Comcast Ventures, mass media group Comcast’s corporate venture capital subsidiary, has added three new principals to its team.
The new members include Fatima Husain, who was product head for accommodation booking platform Airbnb, and Adam Spivack, formerly a senior director of trading and yield at Comcast’s advertising subsidiary, FreeWheel Media.
Sheena Jindal completes the set, having spent short lengths of time at Advance Venture Partners, the corporate venturing affiliate of media group Advance Publications, and VC firm Bessemer Venture Partners following 18 months as manager of strategy and operations at commerce software producer Symphony Commerce.
Comcast Ventures focuses on early-stage investments in communications, digital entertainment and consumer internet technology developers, having invested in 3D home design service provider Modsy in recent weeks.
Comcast Ventures head Amy Banse ranked 22nd on Global Corporate Venturing’s Powerlist last month, while principal Daniel Gulati was promoted to managing director following his appearance in this year’s GCV Rising Stars list.
