Zucker leaving NBC Universal

When Comcast takes over Jeff Zucker, President and CEO of NBC Universal, has said he will step down.

Comcast has agreed to pay GE (parent company of NBC Universal) $30 Billion.

Given the timing of the deal, Zucker will most likely be with NBC Universal for about another 6 months.

Zucker has stated just as GE has had their ability to drive their vision with NBC Universal, Comcast needs to have the same opportunity to drive their vision for the company. The timing was right for him. He has said he has worked for them for 24 years, it is the only job he has had, the only professional career he has had.

Zucker was quoted as saying "I don't yet know what my future will bring. I've spent the last 24 years thinking only about NBC Universal, and never contemplated anything else. I haven't even begun to think about the next chapter," he said.


Good luck to you Jeff in whatever the future may hold for you
