EVP, General Counsel, NBCUniversal
Expert negotiator Harris was a litigator with the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell prior to joining NBCU, and she served in the White House Counsel’s Office from 2010-2012, where she was deputy counsel and deputy assistant to the President. Now Harris advises NBCU senior management and coordinates the global regulatory and legislative agenda. One valuable lesson learned from watching her Davis Polk mentor Bob Fiske: “Reaching the highest levels of success is entirely consistent with maintaining the highest levels of integrity.”
