sprung the news Friday of a major internal reshuffling, which translated to the departures of WarnerMedia Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt and HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly, and the elevations of Warner Bros. chief Ann Sarnoff and HBO programming guru Casey Bloys.
The other change, which is as important, is the global rollout of HBO Max, under Andy now as well… It’s very important in our future that we go global, that we not only go direct-to-consumer, but we also go global… There’s awho actually has taken both Hulu and other over-the-top services to international locales. And Johannes will be reporting to Andy in that role.
I think it makes it a lot simpler. Make no mistake, this is a vote of confidence in Casey, which I feel very good about making, given his history. I mean, I think he’s got more Emmy nominations than I’ve got hair. So this is someone who I’ve admired from afar. It’s such a gift to be able to do it alongside them.
At a headline level, no. Because this really is our move to bring together what was two different studios and content organizations and bring them together as one, and to make the changes that we’re making with Casey, most pointedly. So you shouldn’t expect kind of anything along the lines of obviously what we’re talking about today. I don’t want to ever suggest that any organization on the planet is calcified, and stuck and frozen.
I don’t mean to suggest that we’re not already global today. We have a lot of revenue that’s outside the U.S. But when I talk about going global, I think the opportunities that we could have 70% or more of our customers and our revenue outside the US. — and that really is a change from where we are today.
The other thing that I hope to be able to bring to the team — I think it’s very important that we feel empowered to take risks in serving customers. And when you take risks, a natural inevitability is you’re going to fail plenty. Because when you take risks, you know you’re experimenting, and not all experiments go the way you want. So I want to empower this team, to act boldly, to to lean into the future, take risks… knowing that, yes, sometimes we will fail.
