Richard Cotton, the executive vice president and general counsel of NBCUniversal Media LLC, doesn’t mind the limelight. He goes on talk shows like “Charlie Rose,” testifies before Congress, and often meets journalists for breakfast at the caf overlooking the ice skating rink at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City.

Before joining NBCUniversal in 1989, Cotton worked in the U.S. Department of Energy during the Carter administration and also spent two years as the CEO of HCX Inc., a now-defunct management company. And in 2000 he took a break from the GC role to serve as managing director at London-based CNBC Europe.
