Subject: Tribune's New CFO, New Appointment for Chandler Bigelow
Today we are announcing the hiring of Steven Berns as Tribune’s
EVP/Chief Financial Officer and the appointment of Chandler Bigelow to
the newly created position of EVP/Chief Business Strategies &
Operations Officer.
These positions and the people occupying them are significant, so I want to spend a minute talking about them with you.
Steven comes to Tribune from Revlon, Inc., the worldwide cosmetics and
beauty products company, where he has been CFO since May 2009. As you
can see from the attached press release, throughout his career, Steven
has held a variety of executive finance positions of increasing scope
and responsibility. In addition to his financial acumen, Steven also has
an open and innovative management style—he’ll be a great partner on our
senior leadership team.
As to Chandler’s new role, the last
several months at Tribune have convinced me he is the perfect choice to
help craft the strategy behind the ongoing transformation of our
broadcasting and publishing businesses. He has great strategic
instincts, and he believes deeply in the incredible talent of our
people, the strength of our assets, and the power of our distribution
platform. He understands Tribune’s rich history and is passionate about
its future success.
I couldn’t be happier or more excited about
having Steven and Chandler helping to chart the company’s path forward.
I look forward to working with them—I know you will, too.
Peter
