WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar is set to depart from the company after the Discovery merger. In a memo sent out to staff members this week, the executive reflected on his two-year stint with the company. It’s been a wild time as he had to help WarnerMedia navigate uncharted waters in the pandemic. HBO Max managed to soar upon launch and has remained a powerful player in the streaming landscape. However, the next couple of years will be critical as the number of platforms continues to grow by the day. Luckily, Kilar’s successor will have the entire stable of content at WarnerMedia in tow for whatever comes next. CNN’s Oliver Darcy managed to post the memo on Twitter.
