NBCUniversal is starting to blaze its own corporate path.

The Comcast-backed media conglomerate, which is slated to be spun off from its parent company within a year’s time, named Christopher Halpin as chief financial officer. He will begin in his new role on September 8, and report to Mike Cavanagh, co-CEO of Comcast.

Halpin had been chief operating officer and chief financial officer at People Incorporated, the Barry Diller-controlled media vehicle that publishes People, Southern Living and InStyle, among other brands. Halpin oversaw duties tied to corporate finance, accounting, M&A, investor relations and administration functions.
