NBCUniversal Names Chris Taylor To Lead Its Television Operations In Aust And NZ

Newly Created Role Integrates Local Channels and Distribution Teams to Drive Further Growth

SINGAPORE, 18 November, 2013 – NBCUniversal International today announced Chris Taylor will lead its integrated television operations in Australia and New Zealand in the newly created role of Vice President, International Television. Taylor will start on November 25 and report to Christine Fellowes, Managing Director, Universal Networks International, APAC and Justin Che, SVP Sales Liaison, APAC. He will be based in Sydney.

In 2011, NBCUniversal International combined its channels, distribution and production businesses into one integrated division with Belinda Menendez appointed to lead both channels and distribution as President, Universal Networks International and International Television Distribution. The collaborative structure has benefited from showcasing NBCUniversal International's portfolio of assets – from distribution of content to channels to production capabilities – in a more holistic way. As part of the structure, the strategic markets of Southern Europe (France, Iberia and Italy), Russia and Latin America have since combined their channels and distribution operations under single leadership.http://www.casbaa.com/media-and-resources/news-center/members-news/6417-nbcuiversal-names-chris-taylor-to-lead-its-television-operations-in-aust-and-nz-newly
