Greenblatt and oversee all corporate and content communications
initiatives worldwide across the company’s portfolio of networks and

upcoming WarnerMedia direct-to-consumer streaming service.
Brockman joins WarnerMedia from The Walt Disney Company, where he most

the exceptional group I’m bringing together to help launch our exciting
new streaming platform anchored by the premium content of HBO, Turner
and Warner Bros.”
Brockman’s new role represents WarnerMedia’s latest step toward
positioning its roster of world-class creative talent, leading portfolio
of brands and library of intellectual property for future growth.
“It’s an exciting time to join Bob and his team at WarnerMedia as the
company transforms and prepares to launch a direct-to-consumer service
later this year,” Brockman said. “My career has been built on
understanding the power of brands, and my passion for supporting
exciting and diverse voices in all forms of media — whether linear or
digital — is in sync with this vision for expanding the reach of one of
the best storytelling companies in the world.”
In addition to his celebrated 22-year tenure at The Walt Disney Company,
Brockman is known for his work on the board of 2NDStage, a non-profit
theater group dedicated to finding new American playwrights. He
previously served for two years as chairman of TPEC, the Television
