It’s New Yet Familiar for Lazarus
May 13, 2008 11:15 AM
A familiar face was in unfamiliar places during the first two days of the upfront.
Former Turner executive Mark Lazarus took in both the NBC Experience on Monday and the ESPN upfront on Tuesday. Mr. Lazarus resigned as president of the Turner Entertainment Group in January.
Mr. Lazarus said that for the past 20 years as a salesman and executive, he had attended only Turner’s upfront presentations and wanted to see how the other half lived. He said he “politely declined” invitations to go to Turner’s meeting Wednesday morning. Been there, done that.
As for his future, Mr. Lazarus said he had no immediate plans, other than traveling this summer with his family.
