Don’t Slam The Door: Lauren Zalaznick Leaves NBCU, Jeff Shell Cleans Up

The senior digital executive had no operating role. Duh – that’s what everybody said back in February

Lauren Zalaznick leaving NBCU after merely seven months in her new, undefined position as a digital, cross-platform strategist for the cable and content giant confirms what everyone in town said when she got the role: it was a non-job.

If no great surprise, it’s still a real loss to NBCU. (“Everyone” being the collective TV industry voice that creates the wall of noise that often turns out to be true, usually about NBC, viz. Jeff Zucker, Ben Silverman, Bob Greenblatt.)

Zalaznick, they said at the time, was being pushed aside in favor of Bonnie Hammer, who took most of her portfolio.
