Comcast Corp. has hired David Rhodes to lead international business development at Sky, a year after the executive moved to London to head Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. TV business.

Rhodes will report to Andrea Zappia, Sky’s chief executive officer for new markets and businesses, said a Sky spokesman, who confirmed the appointment in response to a question from Bloomberg.
