On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of AT&T Inc. (“AT&T” or the “Company”) appointed John Stankey (age 56) as the Company’s President & Chief Operating Officer effective October 1, 2019. In this new role, Mr. Stankey will be responsible for AT&T Communications, WarnerMedia and Xandr.
On October 1, 2019, Jeff McElfresh (age 48), will become CEO of AT&T Communications, LLC, replacing John Donovan, who is leaving the Company. Mr. McElfresh is currently President – AT&T Technology and Operations, AT&T Communications, LLC.
Mr. Stankey has served in senior leadership roles with AT&T or its subsidiaries since 2003. In addition, he will remain CEO of WarnerMedia, a position he has held since the company was acquired by AT&T in June 2018. Prior to that, he served as Senior Executive Vice President for the AT&T/Time Warner Integration Planning organization (2017 to 2018) and before that, he was CEO of the AT&T Entertainment Group (2015 to 2017), each on behalf of AT&T Services, Inc. Prior to those positions, he served as Chief Strategy Officer for AT&T (2012 to 2016).
Mr. Stankey’s compensation in connection with his appointment as President & Chief Operating Officer has not been determined at this time.
As previously reported in our 2019 Proxy Statement, the employment by a subsidiary of AT&T of a sister-in-law of Mr. Stankey was approved by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee under the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy. The rate of pay for this employee is similar to that paid for comparable positions at the Company. The employee was paid $132,530 during 2018 and is expected to receive comparable compensation in 2019.
