Amid a widespread executive exodus, Warner Bros. Discovery’s international boss Gerhard Zeiler sent out a memo to the staff today laying out the company’s new global leadership structure.
Following France boss Pierre Branco’s exit earlier this week, Wbd has tapped Clément Schwebig to oversee France, Benelux, Afrique, Allemagne, Autriche and Suisse. James Gibbons, meanwhile, will now handle Asia and Western Pacific which will be united into a single Apac region. As part of the shuffle, Schwebig and Gibbons will essentially see their scope expanded with more territories to handle.
Latin America and Poland will continue to be led by Fernando Medin and Kasia Kieli, respectively. The rest of the structure will be unchanged.
Branco is the fourth high-ranking Wbd executive to depart in recent months, alongside Emea boss Priya Dogra, Hannes Heyelmann, who headed Germany, and Robert Blair, the former boss international TV distribution.
