Kelly Campbell Resigns as Peacock President

Kelly Campbell, President of Peacock and NBCUniversal's direct-to-consumer division, is resigning amid significant corporate restructuring at NBCUniversal, including the spin-off of most of its cable networks. Campbell, who joined Peacock in 2021 after a successful tenure at Hulu, oversaw the streaming service's growth to 36 million subscribers. Her departure follows recent leadership changes, including the promotion of Matt Strauss to Chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group and Donna Langley to Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios. The spin-off aims to address challenges posed by cord-cutting in the evolving media landscape, leaving questions about Campbell's future role as the corporate dynamics shift. Although her exit was confirmed, it remains unclear whether it was voluntary or a result of the organizational changes. Industry analysts are now speculating on the implications for Peacock's future direction without Campbell at the helm.
