NEW YORK — The Chief Operating Officer of Fox Corporation, who also serves as a member of the Office of the Chairman, has inked a three-year employment agreement that sees him adding the title of President.
John Nallen will hold the President/COO position through June 2028, and Executive Chair and CEO Lachlan Murdoch says Nallen “has been instrumental in the continued evolution of FOX and a key partner to me for many years. We greatly value his ongoing impact and his strategic vision and are pleased that he will continue to help guide the strong operating momentum and profitability of FOX as President and COO.”
Prior to the spinoff of FOX by 21st Century Fox in March 2019 and the establishment of FOX as a standalone public company, Nallen was the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for “21CF,” a role which he assumed in 2013. He led all aspects of 21CF’s financial matters, including capital market and merger and acquisition transactions.
Before that, Nallen served as 21CF’s Executive Vice President and Deputy Chief Financial Officer, a position he held starting in 2001.
He joined 21CF (previously known as News Corporation) in 1995 from Arthur Andersen, where he was a partner leading its Media and Entertainment practice.
