Another veteran HBO senior communications executive is leaving the premium cable network. Mara Mikialian, who currently serves as Svp of Media Relations, has decided to depart HBO after a 36-year tenure. Her last day will be Jan. 13.
Mikialian’s departure follows the exits of her long-time colleagues, Nancy Lesser, former Evp of Media and Talent Relations, after 35 years at HBO; and Quentin Schaffer, former Evp Corporate Communications, after 39 years with the company. They are among a number of HBO veterans, led by chairman and CEO Richard Plepler, to leave following the approval of AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner and the subsequent reorganization of WarnerMedia’s entertainment and direct-to-consumer operations under Bob Greenblatt.
Mikialian handled strategic planning and implementation of publicity campaigns for numerous projects over the years, going back to HBO’s early days of original programming with such shows as Not Necessarily the News, Dream On and 1st and Ten.
