But on Monday, months of uncertainty ended for the thousands of employees at the company’s Burbank headquarters as well as New York City offices and other global outposts with the appointment ofas Warner Bros. CEO.
Still, some expressed surprise over the choice. Sarnoff’s name had not been raised in the weeks leading up to the announcement. Other executives, such as Anne Sweeney, former Disney Media Networks co-chair and ex-Disney-ABC TV president, and former Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer had been names that had popped up more frequently in the rumor mill. Sarnoff is better known in the television world, but she has very little visibility in the film community.
Her selection may have raised some eyebrows, but people who have worked alongside Sarnoff were quick to praise her chops. In a note to staff, John Stankey, the veteran executive that AT&T installed as head of WarnerMedia in 2018, made it clear that he views Sarnoff as a businesswoman who has the skillset necessary to lead the company into the streaming age.
