Nathaniel is hugely deserving of this great opportunity, and I know he will do a phenomenal job representing our company and telling the story of Warner Bros. Discovery for years to come.”

“I am enormously proud to continue supporting our CEO and our entire global leadership team as we build the world’s most dynamic media company,” said Brown. “At the end of the day, this is a business of people and I am lucky to work alongside and support many of the best. The opportunity to collaborate and lead fantastic communicators is very exciting and I can’t wait for us all to roll up our sleeves as one team.”

A well liked and respected corporate communications strategist, Brown joined Discovery in 2019, having previously served for seven years as SVP, corporate affairs for 21st Century Fox and its predecessor News Corp.
