Alumni Conversation: Jamar Johnson of Comcast

Sourcing for Innovation

Jamar Johnson was a mixed martial arts instructor when we discovered Catalyte in the mid-2000's. A successful graduate of our software developer training program, Jamar has continued to succeed in the technology industry. He is currently the director of quality and release management, HR technology and information strategy at Comcast. He also chairs Comcast's Black Employee Network. In this candid conversation, Jamar shares his developer journey from a non-traditional background to leading teams at one of America's largest companies. He recounts how Catalyte helped him launch that journey. He also dives into how the tech industry as a whole can do a better job using technology to create a diverse talent pool and build more equitable companies. Hint: everyone speaks "green."
