World Wrestling Entertainment Incorporated's chief financial officer, Augie Liguori, and chief
marketing officer, Julie Hoffman, have left the company. A company spokesman said
that they were asked to leave as part of the need for a "change in direction." He said
there were "things [World Wrestling] would like to see happen," and new
management was needed for that to occur.
"As our organization continues to evolve, we seek to bring in new leadership in both
the financial and marketing areas," said Chief Executive Linda McMahon in a
prepared statement. "Our focus for the future will continue to be on strengthening our
core product, and we believe that new executive talent will further this key corporate
objective."
