The chief executive at WPCS, Andrew Hidalgo, said today that Doyle could help the company with business development, brand identity and acquisitions strategy.
WPCS notes that Doyle headed a division in Comcast with 18,000 employees, or about one-fifth of the cable company's 100,000 employees. WPCS's stock was priced at 2.58 this afternoon in Nasdaq trading, down $0.08 (3.01 percent); the company has a market capitalization of $19.2 million.
Doyle resigned from Comcast earlier this year. His wife, Lynn Doyle, remains a host on CN8. Comcast recently said it would abandon the CN8 brand and rename the programming the Comcast Channel.
