Jeff Carroll, formerly the Vice President and General Manager of Comcast Spotlight’s Salt Lake City market, has been named the Vice President of Comcast Spotlight in Houston, TX. Ingrid Nelson is joining Comcast Spotlight as Vice President and General Manager of Comcast Spotlight in San Francisco, CA.
Carroll, who will oversee all advertising sales for Comcast Spotlight in Houston, a top 10 U.S. market and the newest addition to the company’s NorthCentral Division, has been with the company for 14years.

Ingrid started her career at WJW-TV in Cleveland and left television in 1996 to work in radio, first with WMJI and then for the Clear Channel Cleveland radio cluster. In 2000, she returned to television as Director of Sales Marketing and New Business Development for WKYC-TV, a Gannett property, and later served as General Manager of KNAZ-TV, Flagstaff, AZ.
