NBCU
 
Bonner manages NBCU’s vast North American television and film realm, with a focus on content strategy and development on sundry digi-platforms including on-demand, electronic sell-through and ITV.

In his previous post as SVP of new media for NBCU Cable, Bonner spearheaded the company’s dramatic iTunes entry and led the development of its interactive applications for the Olympics and U.S. Open.
