Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) has tapped Luis Silberwasser as chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, settling leadership for a key piece of its media portfolio.
It's the latest personnel move from new boss David Zaslav as he reshapes the combination of Discovery with WarnerMedia in his own image.

Silberwasser most recently served as president of the U.S. Networks Group at TelevisaUnivision - but he had previously spent 16 years at Discovery Communications in a number of roles, most recently chief content officer at Discovery Networks International.
The company maintains a large portfolio of sports networks and streaming platforms as well as media rights, via Turner Sports, Eurosport Network and its joint venture with BT Sport.
