Turner has tapped former AT&T executive Peter Knag as EVP and chief financial officer, reporting to WarnerMedia CFO and Turner administrative officer Pascal Desroches, who was elevated to that position shortly after the merger of AT&T and Time Warner Inc. was completed.

“This is an important time of transition for Turner, as the merger with AT&T will allow us to innovate even more quickly and create more value for fans, distributors, content creators and advertisers,” Desroches said in a statement. “Peter was instrumental during the integration process, and I am confident that he will continue to bring his expertise and leadership abilities to the Turner portfolio in this role.”
Knag was previously the vice president of AT&T merger planning, leading financial planning and analysis for the AT&T-Time Warner integration process. Prior to that role, he was managing director of corporate development for AT&T. Prior to joining AT&T, Knag worked for Lehman Brothers and First Albany Corp.
