NBCUniversal is an amazing company with great talent, a strong local presence in the U.K., Australia and Canada, alongside an impressive portfolio of channels in the U.S. I believe NBCUniversal is uniquely positioned to grow a strong unscripted business around the globe and I want to make its U.K. base a center for the kind of creative collaborations that lead to globally successful shows.
