NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former NBCUniversal Chief Executive Jeff Shell is in talks to join private equity firm RedBird Capital Partners, among others, he confirmed to Reuters on Monday.

Shell left Comcast-owned NBC in April after acknowledging an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company, following a complaint that prompted an investigation, Comcast said at the time.

At a time when rival studios were investing heavily in streaming in a race to add subscribers, Shell adopted a more conservative approach while at the helm of NBC.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Shell’s talks with RedBird.
