DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Consumer Products President Diane Nelson is taking a leave of absence beginning April 2, according to Variety. Nelson will use the time to deal with family and medical issues, and plans to return at an indefinite point in the future, according to the report.
Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara, Nelson’s boss, explained the move in a memo to employees. "After 22 years with the company, she wants to recharge, as well as have immediate and uninterrupted time with her family," he wrote. "This is her decision and the entire senior management team and I support this, and will help facilitate it."
The DC executive management team, Dan Didio, Jim Lee, Geoff Johns, and Amit Desai (see "Amit Desai Takes Over DC Collectibles, Finance") will report to Warner Bros. Entertainment Chief Digital Officer and EVP, Strategy and Business Development Thomas Gewecke; WB Consumer Products’ Pam Lifford will report to Tsujihara directly.
