UPDATED– Gerhard Zeiler, president of international for Warner Bros. Discovery, has confirmed he will leave the company ahead of the merger with Paramount after he declared his intention to enter politics in Austria.

In an international memo sent to thousands of staffers across the company, Zeiler said he will be leaving at the end of the week.

“I have started writing this message several times, and each time I stopped. Perhaps because after so many years, it is surprisingly difficult to find the right words to say goodbye,” Zeiler said.
