Under the new structure, Amit Chaturvedi will head up revenue operations and product strategy, Katrina Cukaj will see to strategic planning, research and network partnerships, and Joe Hogan will lead a host of sales initiatives. When the smoke clears, it is expected that an executive from AT&T’s new-ish advertising and analytics unit, Xandr, will be given oversight of WarnerMedia’s sales organization.
