WarnerMedia Global Brands and Experiences tapped Nitin Chawla to serve as its new head of finance, strategy, planning, and global operations.
In his new role, Chawla leads finance, strategy, and business operations for the division of WarnerMedia that develops new ways for consumers to engage with its brands by combining creative elements from WarnerMedia Studios and Networks, DC, Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment.
Chawla, who joins WarnerMedia from The Walt Disney Co., reports to Pam Lifford, president, WarnerMedia Global Brands and Experiences, and Jessica Holscott, head of finance for WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group.
“With more than 20 years of experience across digital media, consumer products, and technology, Nitin brings a breadth of knowledge that’s perfectly aligned with the next phase of our growth,” Lifford says. “As physical retail and engagement continue to merge with digital experiences and consumers look to new ways to be entertained, we’re continuously innovating to find ways to meet our fans where they are.”
At Disney, Chawla most recently served as head of digital media business operations for the company’s entertainment and news portfolio of digital products.
