Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. has named Brad Singer as Chief Financial Officer of Warner Bros., effective upon completion of the company’s planned separation, expected by mid-2026. Singer will begin in a strategic capacity in October 2025 and formally take charge once the new Warner Bros. entity is established.

Singer will report to David Zaslav, President and CEO of WBD and future President and CEO of Warner Bros., and will oversee the studio’s global financial functions spanning FP&A, accounting, internal audit, treasury, tax, procurement and investor relations.

“Brad was instrumental in driving significant value creation and growth during our time together at Discovery Communications, and I’m thrilled to be reuniting with a trusted leader whose financial expertise and strategic vision have consistently delivered results,” Zaslav said. He added that Singer’s strong grasp of emerging technologies and shifting consumer trends would be key to Warner Bros.’ next phase of growth.

Singer said he was “excited and energized” to return to the fold alongside Zaslav, describing Warner Bros.’ heritage of creative excellence and audience connection as “an extraordinary foundation” for unlocking long-term value.

A veteran finance executive, Singer most recently served as Partner and Chief Operating Officer at ValueAct Capital until 2021, holding board roles at Rolls-Royce Holdings and Motorola Solutions during his tenure. Earlier, as CFO of Discovery Communications, he played a pivotal role in taking the company public in 2008. He also served as CFO and Treasurer at American Tower Corporation, driving international expansion and acquisitions, and began his career as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs.

Currently, Singer sits on the boards of Warby Parker, where he serves on the audit and compensation committees, and Sweetgreen, where he has chaired the audit committee since 2021. He holds an MBA with distinction from Harvard Business School and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia.
