Versant, the newly independent entity formed from Comcast’s brands such as MSNBC, CNBC, among others, has revealed its proposed slate of board members.
Initially, it was disclosed that David Novak, a current board member at Comcast and ex-CEO of Yum! Brands, will take on the role of chairman after the announced spinoff. Following the separation, Comcast plans to establish a new 10-member board, with Mark Lazarus, newly appointed CEO of Versant, among them. The remaining members of this board will come from various sectors such as media, technology, and finance.
As a passionate observer, I’m excited to highlight some notable figures who have been tapped for key roles:
1. Rebecca Campbell, the ex-chairman of international content and operations at Disney, now serving as interim CEO for the immersive experience Meow Wolf.
2. Creighton Condon, a legal advisor at the global law firm A&O Shearman.
3. Michael Conway, a former Starbucks North America CEO and Johnson & Johnson executive.
4. David Eun, a founding advisor to Kanza AI, a company specializing in generative AI for health, wellness, and medicine.
5. Gerald L. Hassell, the former chairman and CEO of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.
6. Scott Mahoney, the head honcho at golf apparel company Peter Millar LLC.
7. Maritza Montiel, a former deputy CEO and vice chairman at Deloitte & Touche LLP’s U.S. Business.
8. Len Potter, president and founder of registered investment advisor Wildcat Capital Management.
Besides CNBC and MSNBC, the Versant brand portfolio encompasses USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, Golf Channel, Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, and SportsEngine as well.
Novak warmly greeted the progressive, skilled team who will join our upcoming Board of Directors. Their combined knowledge and insights will fortify our management and contribute to Versant’s future prosperity.
Lazarus stated that the unveiling of our upcoming Board signifies an important step in deciding our long-term plans and enhancing the worth of our esteemed media collection. I am excited about working alongside this prestigious team to create a top-tier standalone media enterprise.
