@danielfinnegan
Director of product strategy driving revenue growth, cost efficiency, and scalable technology partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Director, Product Strategy and Partnerships focused on turning product overhauls into measurable growth—like driving annual recurring revenue (ARR) by over 100% annually through customer acquisition, membership retention, and market share expansion.
I bring a strong operating mindset, saving 33% CapEx/OpEx annually by optimizing product operations, streamlining workflows, and leveraging A.I./automation for scalability.
Across my career at Comcast and beyond, I’ve led FP&A roadmaps, aligned Product, Engineering, and BizOps through cross-functional PoCs, and spearheaded standardization efforts—from open-sourced cloud-based AWS voice control to industry collaboration on Conditional Access Architecture, DRM, OTT App Containerization, and embedded Browser evolution.
I also enjoy building partnerships and visibility: I lead business development initiatives with operators, OEMs, and systems integrators, and I contribute as a key speaker/content creator for the global RDK Community (including Technical Emmy Committee involvement).
