Hulu founder Jason Kilar named WarnerMedia CEO ahead of HBO Max launch
Jason Kilar, who helped build Hulu into a force in streaming video, has been named chief executive of WarnerMedia as the entertainment giant rapidly pivots to an online future.
Kilar, who has been in talks with Stankey since early this year, said he likes WarnerMedia’s chances. , which the Dallas telecom purchased for $85 billion in 2018. One of the New York hedge fund’s priorities was for AT&T to install a media executive atop WarnerMedia. In 2007, then-Fox President Peter Chernin and NBCUniversal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker plucked Kilar from Amazon to run the upstart streaming service that would become Hulu. Kilar seemed like an unconventional choice because he had no background in television. But he knew what worked on the internet. Now, Kilar will be the boss of Zucker, who runs CNN and Turner Sports.
