Taylor Tapped As Pres./CEO of Cox Enterprises
The announcement of Taylor’s impending elevation came from Cox Enterprises Chairman Jim Kennedy, who said, “It’s especially meaningful for me that a fourth-generation Cox family member will lead the company my grandfather started in 1898. Alex has a deep understanding of our company and its culture. Cox has thrived in business because we believe in doing good and being a contributor to society. Alex shares this commitment to our employees and communities.”
• Concurrent with Taylor’s elevation came word that Marybeth Leamer, EVP of Human Resources and Administration will retire in the summer of 2018. She will be succeeded by Jill Campbell, EVP and Chief Operations Officer for Cox Communications, the company’s cable and broadband division. As part of this transition, Campbell will become Cox Enterprises’ Executive Vice President on June 1, 2017 and succeed Leamer in 2018.
