WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2025 – New Street Research’s top U.S. telecom analyst is taking a high-level job at Comcast.

Jonathan Chaplin is joining the cable giant as an executive vice president of strategy and investments in the company’s connectivity and platforms division. He’s been with the research firm since 2012 and, New Street said in a Monday statement, “guided its evolution from a telecom-focused boutique into one of the world’s leading independent research firms covering the entire TMT landscape.”

He’ll be succeeded by David Barden, a longtime telecom analyst who most recently led U.S. and Canada communications research at Bank of America Merril Lynch.
