Ann Sarnoff named WarnerBros CEO in surprise pick
John Stankey, CEO of parent company WarnerMedia, has found his replacement for ousted Warner Bros. chief Kevin Tsujihara, tapping BBC executive Ann Sarnoff for the role. She will be based in Los Angeles and begin the job later this summer.
Sarnoff joined BBC Worldwide in 2010 after having served as president of Dow Jones Ventures. The executive previously served as the COO of the WNBA, overseeing business operations for the league. Earlier in her career, she worked at Viacom from 1993 to 2003, where she held multiple titles, including COO of VH1 and CMT.
“I am delighted Ann is joining the WarnerMedia team and excited to work side by side with such a talented and accomplished individual. She brings a consistent and proven track record of innovation, creativity and business results to lead an incredibly successful studio to its next chapter of growth,” said Stankey in a statement.
Among the tricky situations that Sarnoff will have to maneuver will be liasing between the film and TV studios and WarnerMedia's forthcoming streaming service to determine what of the company's vast library and upcoming releases make sense to exploit on the direct-to-consumer offering and what should be preserved for more traditional distribution.
