More Tegna Departures in The Corporate Ranks

When FTVLive told you that Tegna had hired former Fox executive Patrick Paolini as the company's new CEO, we wrote, “I would not be surprised if you don’t see cuts at Tegna, under Paolini. I expect you will see a big shake up with Tegna’s corporate structure.”

Paolini doesn’t start officially until June 1st, but the C-Suite is already getting a major overhaul. Gone are the company’s CFO, Julie Heskett, along with Chief Strategy Officer Ed Busby and Chief Experience Officer (whatever that is?) Dhanusha Sivajee.

“We’re grateful to the departing Tegna leaders, who have chosen to resign from their roles, for their dedication and service to the company, its local television stations, and the communities they serve,” Tegna said in a statement.

You can expect more cuts in the corporate ranks as Paolini takes charge.
