Gupta will report to Jason S. Armstrong, chief financial officer of Comcast Corporation, when he starts work later this month.

During his career at General Motors, Gupta held several financial leadership positions for the company, including investor relations, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of GM Asset Management, CFO and general manager of Southeast Asian operations, and multiple corporate development roles through GM Finance where he led many company acquisitions and divestitures. He also worked directly on GM motor vehicles early in his career while serving as an engineer.

“Rocky is an outstanding financial executive and I’m excited to have him lead our exceptional treasury team. He has a strong track record of financial excellence and leadership domestically and globally and I look forward to him bringing his outstanding acumen, talent, and expertise to Comcast,” said Armstrong.
