Starting in July, Ms. Drew will become Chief Sustainability Officer at Standard Chartered Bank.

Mr. Sanchez’s experience includes 30 years as a private practice attorney and investor and he holds current board positions at Discovery and Liberty Latin America. He is a candidate for the Development Committee of the Smithsonian Museum of the American Latino and is active in Latinos for Education, which connects diverse leaders to the education sector to create equity and opportunity for Latino youth. He has previously held board positions at Lionsgate and Starz.

John Malone, Chairman of Liberty Global, commented, “Dave Rapley has been a fantastic director on the Liberty Global board for over 16 years. We will all miss his camaraderie and genuine enthusiasm for our business and employees around the world. I wish him well in all of his future endeavours.”

Mike Fries, CEO and Vice Chairman, Liberty Global, commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Marisa and Dan to the Liberty Global board. Dan brings years of public board experience and a broad perspective on the media and telecommunications landscape.
