About Pete Harvey

Experience

1. Executive Creative Director

   Goodby Silverstein & Partners

   Jul 2025 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US

   Tasked with winning the Xfinity business, and now leading the brand creatively. The strategic premise is simple: Xfinity creates magic. The result includes Frankenstein discovering humanity through the internet, Jeff Goldblum finally being granted the powers his Wicked character never had, and a Taika Waititi-helmed project that wonders what would\'ve happened to Jurassic Park if Xfinity had saved it from the technological bug that brought it down back in 1993. More to come.
