Schaffer will exit as HBO’s executive VP of corporate communications next month, after steering HBO through one last Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills. He is the latest in a string of departures of long-serving executives at HBO.
Schaffer wrote that his personal “montage of memories” included “screening of ‘Band of Brothers’ on the beaches of Normandy with the men of Easy Company” and “a visit to Nelson Mandela’s office while in Johannesburg for the Whitney Houston concert, being in Moscow right after Perestroika for a screening of ‘Stalin’ , the barrage of calls after ‘The Sopranos’ went to black, the first-ever screening of a TV Show for ‘Sex and the City.
“HBO has been an amazing place to work alongside the brightest and most creative people I’ve ever come across, particularly the communications team,” Schaffer said in a statement. “What made it special was that we always had an enviable slate of programming to work with. In looking back, I feel lucky to have had the greatest temporary job in the business. For 39 years. With Kevin now here, the team is in good hands and I can feel comfortable moving on.
