Anyone looking for a sign of Comcast President Mike Cavanagh’s strategy as the recently installed overseer of NBCUniversal got a bright one Thursday.
The seasoned finance exec unveiled a significant revamp of the company’s senior management ranks. Donna Langley, Mark Lazarus and Cesar Conde headed the list of those gaining promotions, while Susan Rovner, chairman of entertainment content for NBCU television and streaming, was a high-profile exec to exit the company.
One notable aspect of the new org chart is Langley’s new dual role overseeing both film and TV. At companies of comparable scale to NBCU (and even at Netflix and other pure tech firms), the film and TV realms are still generally run separately even though the line between them gets blurrier every day.
In a staff memo, Cavanagh said Langley will “leverage her longstanding relationships with the creative community and ability to partner with the most prolific storytellers in our business to unlock a seamless cross-portfolio creative strategy including programming, distribution and marketing across film, television and streaming.” The company is creating the NBCUniversal Studio Group, which Langley will lead, while Lazarus will operate the Media Group and Conde will sit atop an expanded News Group.
