Nick Dunn, who is currently head of CNBC Events as senior vice president and managing director of NBCU News Group/CNBC, is leaving the company after a 28-year career.
Dunn’s note to his colleagues:
After 28 years, I’m leaving CNBC. What an epic run.
For the first 23 years, the newsroom was home. From News Associate on the overnight shift to almost a decade as our Managing Editor, it was the time of my life working with this team, through all the crises, major market moves and significant news events of the past three decades.
Creating CNBC events with the first Delivering Alpha in 2011, and leading the events business for the past 5 years, has been immensely rewarding. I am happy to say the business is stronger than ever, producing best-in-class events and exceeding revenue goals.
It hasn’t been without challenges. We adapted our business model many times to flourish in changing circumstances, including the global pandemic. We created new products and partnerships, reaching new and diverse audiences, and driving incremental dollars for CNBC and the News Group. I am so proud of our accomplishments.
Maybe the best part of CNBC – I met my wife here, raised two spectacular children and made life-long friendships. It’s been a wild ride, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
None of this could have happened without my truly wonderful colleagues. I am so grateful for all I have learned from you, and all we have done together.
Thank you.
