Summary
Rob Bell is a senior global media executive with 20+ years bridging content strategy, digital distribution and business development across film, TV and music, currently leading global content strategy and international digital distribution for NBCUniversal from Los Angeles. A former investment banker with a core finance background, he combines commercial rigor with hands-on experience negotiating SVOD, AVOD and transactional deals and co-productions worldwide. He built and scaled digital businesses at Sony Music and ITV early in his career, then spent nearly two decades shaping NBCU’s international new media and digital distribution strategy. Dual UK/Australian citizenship and a career that spans London, Europe and the US give him a rare cross-market perspective on rights, windows and monetization. Known for turning complex licensing frameworks into practical distribution plans, he’s equally comfortable with deal mechanics and product-led growth. Outside corporate titles, he brings a builder’s mindset rooted in early dot-com operations and structured finance training.
