He has been praised for leading the highly successful integration of AT&T Broadband with Comcast.

Prior to Comcast, Burke served with The Walt Disney Company as President of ABC Broadcasting. Burke joined The Walt Disney Company in January 1986, where he helped to develop and found The Disney Stores. In 1992, he moved to Euro Disney S.A., where, as President and Chief Operating Officer, he helped to lead a comprehensive restructuring effort.

Burke serves on the board of directors of NBCUniversal, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which was rated as the No. 1 children’s hospital by U.S. News & World Report in 2009 and 2010.
