Jeff Shell, the chief govt of NBCUniversal, is leaving the corporate after an investigation into an inappropriate office relationship, the corporate’s proprietor, Comcast, stated in a press release on Sunday.
Within the assertion, Mr. Shell stated that right now could be his final day and that he had had “an inappropriate relationship with a girl within the firm.”
“I’m actually sorry I let my Comcast and NBCUniversal colleagues down, they’re essentially the most gifted folks within the enterprise and the chance to work with them the final 19 years has been a privilege.”
Comcast’s terse assertion didn’t say who could be changing Mr. Shell at NBCUniversal, which he has led since 2020.
In a word to staff on Sunday, Comcast’s chief govt, Brian Roberts, stated that Mr. Shell’s senior staff would report back to Mike Cavanagh, Comcast’s president, placing Mr. Cavanagh in efficient management of NBCUniversal.
“We’re disenchanted to share this information with you,” Mr. Roberts wrote. “We constructed this firm on a tradition of integrity. Nothing is extra essential than how we deal with one another.”
