Warner Bros. Discovery ’s top four executives – President and CEO David Zaslav, CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels, Chief Legal Officer Priya Aiyar and Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer Bruce Campbell talked up Netflix’s $83B deal to buy the company in its town hall.
Zaslav called it a “big day” for WBD.
The group praised the 25,000 rank-and-file staff for their performance and acknowledged all of the things that you’d expect them to acknowledge such as the power of its IP in the Zoom meeting.
The main question for most staff on the call was whether they’d still have jobs once the merger closes. Zaslav remained hopeful, saying that the intention is for Netflix to bring over “most” people.
It was the team’s latest of the morning, having earlier held a meeting for 150 of its top leaders.
