Guy Slattery was named senior VP of marketing for A&E Network, the company said Monday.

Mr. Slattery, who joins A&E from National Geographic Channel International, will oversee the network’s consumer marketing and will be involved in developing cross-platform marketing initiatives. He will also be responsible for expanding A&E content for digital platforms.

He succeeds Artie Scheff, who opened his own marketing agency earlier this year.

“Guy is an outstanding marketer and leader with a proven track record of critical and commercial success,” said A&E Network General Manager Bob DeBitetto.
