ABC News announced that it will have a new senior vice president, production and operations, as Elizabeth Barrett is taking over the role for the network.
In the new position, Barrett will supervise ABC News Studios's production management and partner with ABC News Studios, finance, and HR teams to establish production and resourcing standards that help ABC News' expanding content pipeline.
"Elizabeth has been a vital member of the ABC News team for 30 years, working in a variety of different roles throughout her tenure. Most recently, as vice president of Finance, Business Planning, and Strategy," ABC News Kim Godwin wrote in a memo to staff.
"... She also served as a senior leader on the Disney General Entertainment Finance team, coordinating efforts and business insights across the group to help enhance the company's performance."
Additionally, Barrett will manage the newsgathering and operations units, including program operations, the logistics desk, field engineering, editing, graphics, and more.
In the coming weeks, Elizabeth will transition from her former role and report to Derek Medina, ABC News executive vice president. At the same time, the search for her successor in finance is being identified.
