See the full memo below.
Dear Team,
I’m reaching out today, so you hear the news from me that I’ve decided to leave my position as Executive Vice President and Head of Warner Horizon Unscripted Television. Leaving Warner Bros. after 22 years was not an easy decision, but the time is right for a change. I will take some time to consider new opportunities and am excited to start a new chapter.
It’s with extremely mixed emotions that I move on from this incredible company, leaving behind so many brilliant colleagues and dear friends, the extraordinary people who make this one of the most dedicated and talented teams in the business.
Together we’ve poured all our energies and passions into the finest unscripted programming in television, shows like The Bachelor, The Voice and Ellen’s Game of Games, as well as countless specials and documentaries like “Friends: The Reunion” and “Harry Potter 20: Return to Hogwarts.” Together we established Warner Horizon as the #1 producer of unscripted programming in the country.
I’ll forever treasure my experiences with the company, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with the likes of Ava DuVernay, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, James Corden, Ben Winston, Casey Patterson, Leslie Iwerks, Arthur Smith, The Voice’s Mark Burnett and Audrey Morrissey, The Bachelor’s Mike Fleiss, and so many other genuine legends of the business.
And most of all, I’ll treasure the memory of working with this great team. I want to thank Channing Dungey and Mike Darnell for their support as I begin this next chapter. I will remain in touch until the end of the year to consult and help with this transition. Wishing you all every success moving forward. I know you’ll continue to make the company proud.
Thanks to all of you,
Brooke
More to come…
