Former NBCUniversal News chairwoman Patricia Fili-Krushel, who was removed from her position following the Brian Williams scandal, has announced her departure from the multimedia corporation.
Fili-Krushel plans to leave her post on Nov. 1.
"We couldn't come up with a position that made sense for what I'm interested in doing, so we said maybe it's time we part ways," she told New York magazine, referencing her ongoing negotiations with NBCUniversal Chief Executive Officer Steve Burke.
"It was a mad five years. I just feel like I need some time."
Fili-Krushel worked for the News Group division from 2011 to 2015.
Last month, NBCUniversal was inducted into the Billion Dollar Roundtable organization, which recognizes corporations that achieve spending of at least $1 billion with minority and woman-owned suppliers.
The media company is joined by 20 other notable corporations among the ranks of Comcast, Microsoft, Toyota, Bank of America and Kaiser Permanente.
"We are beyond thrilled to become part of the Billion Dollar Roundtable," Chief Procurement Officer of NBCUniversal Peter Kiriacoulacos said, according to MarketWatch.
"Diversity in our supply chain is integral to the continued success of our Comcast NBCUniversal family of companies. We spent more than $5 billion with diverse vendors between 2011 and 2014, and our commitment to diverse vendors will be further strengthened by our membership in the Billion Dollar Roundtable."
NBCUniversal was founded in 2004 in a merger between General Electric's National Broadcasting Company and Vivendi Universal Entertainment.
