The Wright Stuff: From NBC to Autism Speaks

Bob Wright's leadership at NBC transformed a traditional network into a $45 billion cable and internet giant, launching alternative news channels CNBC and MSNBC along with MSNBC.com, creating strategic partnerships with other media companies, and solidifying NBC's leadership in multiple US and international markets.

After retiring, he founded Autism Speaks with his wife to become the leading advocacy and research funding organization for autism, a condition poorly understood at the time.

As a compassionate and charismatic leader, Bob Wright is a true visionary who has made a lasting impact in both the media industry and the lives of families affected by autism.
