Warner Bros. Discovery Adds John Malone’s Nephew Daniel Sanchez to Board of Directors

As a seasoned gamer with a keen eye for corporate dynamics, I must say that the addition of Daniel Sanchez to Warner Bros. Discovery’s board is a strategic move that could potentially shake things up. Being no stranger to Discovery and having a strong background in tax law and planning, Sanchez brings a unique perspective to the table.


Warner Bros. Discovery is expanding its board of directors.

Beginning October 1st, it’s been announced that Daniel Sanchez will become a member of the board at our entertainment company. Daniel Sanchez is already familiar to shareholders of Discovery, as he previously held a position on the Discovery board prior to the 2022 merger with WarnerMedia, which formed our current company.

Apart from being a board member at WBD, he is additionally John Malone’s nephew, a fellow shareholder. At present, his responsibilities extend to sitting on the boards of Liberty Global Ltd., which is one of Malone’s companies, as well as Liberty Latin America Ltd. Prior to his retirement in 2021, Sanchez spent his career as an attorney, specializing in tax law and tax strategy.

Malone holds significant stakes in various media ventures, such as the Liberty group (overseeing SiriusXM, Formula 1, the Atlanta Braves, among others) and Charter Communications. Additionally, he serves as a mentor for David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery.

According to WBD’s statement, Sanchez’s legal knowledge will enable him to contribute to the Board by creating strategies that account for various matters arising from the implementation and changes in tax rules and regulations.

In a statement, Samuel A. Di Piazza Jr., chair of WBD’s board, noted that Dan’s legal background, business expertise, and outstanding service on the Discovery, Inc. board make him an advantageous addition to our own. Given the current period of significant transformation in our company and industry, this change also presents significant possibilities. Dan will be a crucial contributor as we deliberate on growth strategies, adapt to shifting consumer trends, and formulate strategic initiatives.
