Andrea Zapata (pictured, left), who joined the company in 2017, has been promoted to vice-president of data innovation and insights. She will oversee a newly formed team responsible for advanced analytics, measurement, insights, effectiveness and in-market research, and focus on developing innovative data-led tools.  

Prior to Comcast, Zapata was vice-president of research and analytics at Vevo and led ad sales research at Hulu.

Both are based in the company’s New York office, reporting to senior vice-president and chief operating officer Hank Oster.

Oster said: “By creating a focus on product strategy and a clear product roadmap with Kelly, and a focus on innovating with data with Andrea, we are poised to meet the growing needs of our clients.”
