SAG CEO Pisano to Resign; Hessinger Will Replace Him

Bob Pisano will resign his post as Screen Actors Guild CEO and will be replaced by Greg Hessinger, national executive director of the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, sources said Tuesday.

An SAG spokesperson said the guild will not confirm or deny the shakeup until after a board of directors meeting this Sunday. The board reportedly must vote on Mr. Hessinger's appointment.

"SAG has scheduled a meeting of its board this week to discuss issues related to its executive leadership," the spokesperson said. "But we will not comment on any future changes until the board has a chance to discuss and vote on those issues."

Mr. Pisano also serves as national executive director of SAG.
