Kelly Campbell Out As Peacock President

Peacock president Kelly Campbell is leaving NBCUniversal, Deadline has confirmed.

It comes three years after she joined the streamer from Hulu and six weeks after the Comcast-owned company unveiled plans to separate its cable networks into a new company in a major way, with new roles for Campbell’s boss Matt Strauss and content chief Donna Langley.

The departure is one of a number of changes expected to be caused by the corporate moves.

Campbell spent four years at Hulu, latterly as president, before moving to Peacock as president in October 2021. Prior to joining Hulu, she spent 12 years at Google in leadership and marketing roles across the Google Ads and Google Cloud businesses including a year in Google Japan building the Online Sales and Operations functions. She began her career in finance as an investment banking analyst at JPMorgan Chase.

At NBCU she reported to Strauss, who was previously Chairman, Direct-to-Consumer and International, NBCUniversal but who was promoted to Chairman, NBCUniversal Media Group in November, taking over NBC Sports as well as the streamer. At the same time, Langley was promoted to Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios.

This came after Comcast decided to separate NBC, Peacock and Bravo from its other cable networks including MSNBC, CNBC, E!, Syfy, Golf Channel, Oxygen and USA, which are being moved into a new and separate company run by Mark Lazarus.

Campbell’s departure comes just days after she walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes alongside her NBCU colleagues including Pearlena Igbokwe, Lisa Katz, Beatrice Springborn and Erin Underhill.
