Warner Bros Discovery appoints new General Manager ANZ

 Michael Brooks is Warner Bros Discovery’s new General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, in addition to his existing role of Managing Director, Warner Bros International Television Production Australia.

Brooks has been with Warner Bros. Discovery since 2016 and in this newly expanded role, he will oversee all non-theatrical businesses locally, comprising Networks and Streaming, Content Licensing and Home Entertainment, Consumer Products and Games, as well as WBITVP Australia.

Brooks will report into James Gibbons, President, APAC and Ronald Goes, President, WBITVP. Juliet Peterson (VP, Head of Networks ANZ) and Andrew Bromell (VP, Consumer Products ANZ) will now report to Brooks, while retaining their respective positions. WBITVP New Zealand remains within its current reporting structure, reporting into WBITVP headquarters in London, and is not part of Brooks’ expanded remit.

“ANZ is a key market in the region with strong assets and clear opportunities for growth,” said Gibbons. “Michael is a seasoned leader with strong understanding of the local industry, and global expertise across several business verticals. Together with our local heads, I have every confidence that our ANZ business is set up to drive optimum value.”

“It’s a time of immense opportunity as we continue to evolve with our rapidly changing industry,” said Brooks. “We have fantastic initiatives on the horizon across all of our business units and the more closely we are aligned, the stronger we’ll perform. I’m excited to get stuck into this new role and work with the leadership team to leverage our world-class brands and drive growth, innovation and exceptional results for our audiences and partners.”
