NBCU’s Chief Digital Officer George Kliavkoff, who launched Hulu and oversaw NBC's digital coverage of the Olympics, is leaving the peacock network. From Paidcontent:
"I just got off the phone with Kliavkoff, who stressed that he has not had any job conversations: 'I’ve not spoken to anyone about any other job because I was prohibited from doing that under my contract with NBC. I look forward to having those conversations when the time is appropriate.' He wants to stay in the digital space in a role that moves the industry forward. What might that be? He listed three possible areas: 'Some sort of investing. Some sort of digital startup. Some kind of digital startup within a traditional company.' NBCU execs were very unhappy with me when I suggested Comstock’s departure and Mehta’s arrival could lead to his leaving, making it very clear that Kliavkoff would be staying. So why leave now? 'The fact that at NBC a lot of the business units have reached scale in their digital operations is a sign of success ... it’s exactly why I chose this moment to leave.' He thought it would be a 3-5 year task but 'it happened quicker than I thought.'"
