Heading out the door is Simon Downing, who is leaving after 14 years, most recently serving as SVP Head of Factual and Sport UK. “Simon has decided to leave the company to explore new opportunities after 14 years with the Discovery UK & Ireland business,” said a Discovery spokeswoman. Ruiz was appointed to his role in June as part of WBD President and Managing Director of EMEA Priya Dogra’s. He was formerly Warner Bros’ General Manager for Discovery in Spain, France and Portugal but is now one of six General Managers in position across the region.
Many questions remain about how WBD plans to merge the HBO Max and Discovery+ streaming services, as per the vision of CEO David Zaslav. WBD has already halted production of HBO Max originals in many spots across Europe as it rejigs its focus and attempts to make several billions dollars worth of savings across the wider business.tomorrow, with many expecting details on a merged streamer, company structure and/or theatrical-streaming film strategy.
