Jon asked me to share the following with you:
“I have had the privilege of representing this great portfolio of brands for the last 32 years – at Turner, Scripps, Discovery and now at WBD. I’m grateful for the opportunities that David Zaslav, Bruce Campbell, and other leaders have given to me. This is the right time to begin a new chapter both personally and professionally.
It is incredible to look back at my early years at ESPN, and the birth of cable, to see how the business has grown and transformed. I have had the good fortune to have always worked with, and for, the best companies, brands, and people. And this includes all of you. I couldn’t be prouder and more appreciative of this ad sales team and what we accomplished together in both the prosperous and challenging times”.
Jon will continue in his current role while we begin our search for WBD’s next ad sales leader. So, nothing changes in the near term. And in typical Jon fashion – he’s pushing hard to achieve our sales objectives in this important fourth quarter.
We will take time to honor Jon’s legacy here when the time comes, but for now, please join me in congratulating him on his next chapter. Bruce
