With his 13 years of experience under his belt at CBS News, it’s like he’s leveled up to a whole new dimension of strategic communication.

Frank, a 13-year veteran at CBS News, will be responsible for managing all communication efforts – both internal and external – across CBS News, CBS Stations, syndication, talent, programming, first-run syndication, and division strategy. He reports to Wendy McMahon, the president and CEO of CBS News and Stations, as well as Chris Ender, the executive VP of communications at CBS, in this new role.

Frank plays a pivotal role in counseling top CBS News leaders such as McMahon, and he collaborates extensively with talent from various programs within the network, including 60 Minutes and the CBS Evening News.
