Noah Oppenheim, president of NBC News since early 2017, will leave the organization in an unorthodox shake-up that will elevate three different executives, effectively separating the massive news outlet into different pieces, all of which will report to Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal’s portfolio of news assets.
Seven weeks after Matt Lauer was ousted from NBC’s Today amid allegations of sexual misconduct, there has been another shake-up at the morning show. NBC said today that Don Nash, the show’s executive producer since 2012, would leave and would be succeeded by Libby Leist, a veteran Today producer, making her the first woman to hold the top producing job for the show’s first two hours.
