Kristine Coratti Kelly, CCO of the Washington Post, is joining CNN Worldwide as the network’s head of global communications.
Kelly will head CNN’s brand strategy and teams beginning next month, covering media relations and publicity, creative marketing, events and brand initiatives, and employee and external communications.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, she will report to Chairman and CEO Chris Licht, who announced Kelly’s appointment along with a slew of other leadership changes on Wednesday.
Kelly’s responsibilities were previously held by former CMO Allison Gollust, who resigned in February following allegations of business policy violations relating to the Chris Cuomo controversy.
