TORONTO – Chris Fuoco, vice-president of distribution and account marketing for Canwest Broadcasting, has left the company, it was announced late last week.
“We greatly appreciate all of Chris’s good work over the last several years, and recognize that he has played a key role in the successful relationships we have established with our BDU partners,” said memo circulated to employees by chief marketing officer Walter Levitt.
Fuoco came to CanWest when the company purchased Alliance Atlantis, where Fuoco oversaw distribution and marketing for the company’s large stable of specialty channels for a number of years.
“The rest of the Canwest team – Judit Tomka, Rick Chiarelli, Laura Comello, Drew Robinson and Victoria Lee – are all remaining with the company,” added Levitt’s memo.
No replacement has been named, but the company is searching for a new VP and hope to have one in place by the fall.
The memo did not indicate where Fuoco is headed, nor the reason for his departure.
