CableLabs named Mark Bridges as president and chief technology officer effective August 1, 2026, with the president and chief executive officer role scheduled to begin on Jan. 1, 2027. The change follows the leadership retirement of Phil McKinney on Jan. 1, 2027.

CableLabs said the transition was set up to maintain continuity of strategic initiatives. The company also said executive leadership planning included keeping the executive leadership team in place during the period of change.

Bridges has served as executive vice president and chief technology officer since June 2023, leading technology and strategy teams. CableLabs said he oversaw core research and development programs, technology investment decisions, and the strategic direction of its innovation portfolio, and worked with member company executives on technology strategy and the development of industry specifications.

McKinney served as president and CEO since June 2012 and will remain fully engaged as CEO through the end of 2026, continuing to advise the CableLabs Board of Directors and Bridges throughout 2027. The release said McKinney joined CableLabs in June 2012 from Hewlett-Packard, led work including DOCSIS 3.1 and 4.0 and the 10G suite of technologies, and said the company’s patent portfolio grew from fewer than 70 patents to more than 1,000 during his 14 years.

“Phil transformed CableLabs from a North American research and development organization into a global innovation leader,” said Chris Winfrey, chairman of the CableLabs Board of Directors and president and CEO of Charter Communications. “Under his leadership, CableLabs expanded its membership, accelerated technology development and strengthened its impact across the connectivity industry.” “Mark has been central to CableLabs' technology strategy for more than a decade, including helping lead our expansion into cloud-native architectures, network convergence and AI,” McKinney said.

“CableLabs has always brought the industry together to solve hard technology problems and open new frontiers for advancement,” Mark said. The company said the transition messaging included that the executive leadership team would remain in place throughout the process.
