NBC Sports Group
Senior vice president, communications

NBC will produce America’s biggest sporting event in February in the Super Bowl. Days later, it will produce the world’s biggest sporting event in the Winter Olympics. Hughes will oversee NBC Sports Group’s communications team as they manage the PR coming out of both huge events. Hughes is the consigliere behind NBC Broadcasting & Sports Chairman Mark Lazarus, for whom he has worked at both NBC Sports and Turner Sports. A seemingly constant presence at Lazarus’ side, Hughes regularly provides counsel for Lazarus, one of the most accomplished executives in media.
