\tAT&T promoted WarnerMedia chief John Stankey (pictured) to a newly created role of president and COO, adding oversight of the company\u2019s communications and advertising units to his duties.<\/p>\n

The operator also announced Jeff McElfresh, president of technology and operations at AT&T Communications, will replace the division’s outgoing CEO John Donovan on 1 October.<\/p>\n

McElfresh will report to Stankey, as will Brian Lesser, CEO of AT&T\u2019s Xandr advertising and analytics business. Stankey will continue to serve as WarnerMedia CEO, with his new role overseen by AT&T boss Randall Stephenson.<\/p>\n

The announcement put to rest speculation AT&T could use Donovan\u2019s departure as an opportunity to elevate a woman [1] to one of the company\u2019s top executive posts.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Stephenson praised Stankey as \u201can outstanding executive who has led nearly every area of our business, helped shape our strategy and excelled at operations throughout his career\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Now is the time to more tightly align our collection<\/a> of world-class<\/a> content, scaled consumer relationships, technical know-how and innovative advertising technology\u201d, Stephenson explained, adding the moves are the “natural next step in bringing together the distinct and complimentary capabilities of AT&T Communications, WarnerMedia and Xandr to deliver for consumers the benefits of a modern media company”.<\/p>\n

Experienced
\nStankey joined AT&T in 1985 and served in numerous executive roles spanning corporate strategy and M&A; media and entertainment; operations, IT and technology; consumer mobility, broadband and TV; and enterprise business.<\/p>\n

McElfresh has been with the company for nearly 25 years, holding various leadership positions including CEO of AT&T\u2019s Vrio, DirecTV Latin America and Sky Brasil businesses; and president of AT&T Mexico.<\/p>\n[1] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/featured-content\/home-banner\/att-communications-division-chief-retires\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
